But every man who knows the mem- bers of the bar knows this 1s not so. My assoclate and myself are here for the same purpose that the learned district attorney 1s here for, to see that this trial progresses fu a legal, orderly and proper manner. We must in every way possible put down and suppress this fecling that cases may be aisposed of without the intervention of the courts of justice. “This trial here {8 a great object lesson to the world, Here is a case where a man has stricken down the beloved president of his country, in broad daylight, in the pres- | ence of hundreds of thousands of specta- | tors.

That, gentlemen, speaks volumes for the orderly conduct of the people of the city of Buffalo. “Here was A mAn occupylng an exalted position, a man of irrepronchable churacter, who had come here to assist us in promot- ing the prosperity of our great exposition and he was shot down while holding & re- ception.

He spoke in a clear, well| modulated volce and every word could be heard. He sail “It is hardly possible for any man to stand up and talk about this case without ! the deepest emotion. It was the most awful tragedy that ever came upon the world We have shown you how this defendant stood in the Temple of Music that afternoon and shot down our beloved president. We | have shown you how he deliberated and plauned this awtul crime. We bave shown you how he attended anarchistic and social- | Istic meetings at which were sown in his heart the seeds of his terrible act. “The counsel for the defense says if the defendant was sane he was responsible and that If he was insane he must be presumed | to be mnnocent. He tells you that is a pre- sumption of law. | “It is also a presumption of law that! every man Is sane until he is proved in- sane. Evidence tending to show that the prisoner was insane has not been forthcom- ing; it has been proved that he was the agent of the crime and thera should be no question In your minds as to the responsi- bility of the defendant.

Justice White began his charge to the jury 3:09. He arose from his seat and stepped to the side of the bench ncarest the jury box. He said “Gentlemen tefendant has Such an now at of the Jury: In this case acknowledged his guilt dgement cannot ®o to the jury or the court. The law requires that the defendant charged with such a crime must be tried. The law says that all the facts must be observed and reviewed by you law guarantees that the defendant shall have a fair trial by twelve men im- partial and fair, capable of taking the tes timony of the trial and capable of giving it thorough consideration. If. when all the circumstances of the case are cousidered by there still exists In vour minds a reasonable doubt that the defendant is not guiliy, you cannot find this man guilty. The people bave submitted evidence tending to show that this man committed this crime they have given evidence tending to show that it was premeditated. If vou are sure it was by design and premeditated, and it In accordance with that premeditation and design, these shots wore fired, then the de feadant {5 guilty of the crime of murder in the first degree “You must consider all this evidence that the people have submitted to you, You must consider it fairly and without preju- lice. You are the sole judges of facts in this case.” Continuing you Judge White said Beyo n Rensonable Doubt. “The jurors must find him guilty beyond A reasonable doubt. You may ask what is o reasonable doubt. While a great deal has boen written and said on the definition of ‘reasonably doubt,’ In this case it means that the furors are bouud to sift, compare and examine all the evidence, and if in their minds there is any doubt os to (W) de fendant's guilt they are bound to acquit the defendant.

The defendant has been given every advantage of experienced counsel. I deplore any incitement to violence, and the man who is ready to go out and com- mit a erime hecause some other man had committed one Is as gullty as the other and his act is just as reprehensible.

If the shot was fired accidentally and withgqut premeditation he is gullty of manslaughter In the first degree. It is not necessary for me to discuss the question of manslaughter in the second degree in this case.” Justice White then commended the jurors for their patience during the trial and or- dered them to retire and bring in a ver- dict. 6 aa Is Presumed Sane, Just before they did so, however, Dis- trict Attorney Penney requested the judge to charge the jury that the law presumes every individual sane unless proven other- wise and the court sald to them: ‘The law presnmes the defendant in this case sane.” Lawyer Titus also asked the court to charge the jury “that if they were satisfled from the evidence that at the time of the committal of the assault the defendant was laboring under such a defect of reason as not to know the quality of the act or that | it was wrong he was not responsible and the Jury must acquit.” “I so charge,”” £aid the judge. Tension High While Jury ix Ont. Atter the Jury had retired to consider the evidende the scene in the courtroom became dramatic in the extreme. Decorum was somewhat forgotten and tho spectators stood up and walked about the room and engaged in conversation. The guards about the assassin, who still sat n his seat before the bench, were doubled, Chief of Detectives Cussack and two of his men taking posi- tlons Just back of Czolgosz's chair. Others took seats to left and right and many| “plain clothes men” were Seen mingling among the crowd surging about the room closely watching everyone whose face was not a familiar one to them. There was no dlsposition to crowd about the prisoner, although the object of everyone seemed to be to get Into u position to get a full view of his face. Czolgosz had been seated In his chair all the afternoon, his hands clasped on the arms of the chair, his head bent forward and to the left. The room was not warm, but he frequently took his handkerchiet from his pocket and mopped the perspiration from his forehead and cheeks. At mo time during the absence of the jury did he raise his eyes or lift his head or seem to know that he was the ob- ject of interest of several hundred men and women. Every time the door was opened all eyes were turned in that directlon, the ev- ident thought in every mind being that the Jury would only take a few minutes to agree on a verdiet. Jury Renders Verdict, It was 4:35 when the crier rapped for order and the jury filed into the room. The clerk read the names, each juror re- sponding “Present” as his name was called. No time was wasted. The jurors did mot sit down. Addressing them, Justice White said: “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a | verdiet?" ‘We have,” responded F “What s your verdict “That the defendant is gullty of murder the first degree."” There was a moment of silence and then @ murmur arose from the crowd. It ended there. There was no handclapping, no cheers. Justice White's volce could be clearly heard In every part of the room when he thanked the jurore for their work and allowed them to go until 11 o'clock to- morrow morning.
