The train seemed ernor Nash and his staff are.to join it at Pittsburg. President Roosevelt's arrival at the train occurred at 7:50 and was unmarked by incident. His brother-in-law, Com- mander Cowles of the navy, accompanied him. It was just before 8 o'clock when Mrs. McKinley was driven to the staticn. Fearing the tiring effect of the long walk from the carriage entrance to the car sct apart for her niext to the head of the Arain, a rolling chair had been provided Tor her. She declined this, however, and walked with surprising firmness to hor place, assisted by Abner McKinley and Dr. Rixey. It was 8:10 o'clock when this | section steamed away in the darkness, the first section having preceded it ten min- utes. The observation car bearing the re- was flooded with light. ‘hrough stal sides could be seen the bcau- tifully draped casket, with its mass of ssoms, so arranged that even as n swept through the night the people in the country it passed through might gaze on the sight of the casket with a soldier standing grimly at the head and a sailor, carrying his cutlass upon his shoulder, at the foot. A guard of soldiers and sailors occupied the plat- form, and between them at the rear wus a large wreath six feet in diameter of rare orchids and laurels. Ten minutes later the-third section of the train, bearing the army and navy of- ficers, sped away, and the national capi- tal had performed its part of the funcral ceremonies. Through the Black Night. BALTIMORE, Sept. 17.—Leaving Wash- ington the long winding train bearing the remains of the martyred President plunged out into the darkness and hur- ried like a black streak on its mourntul journey. The curtains of the train were drawn as it pulled out of the’ station, save only for the observation car in which the corpse lay, guarded by a sailor and soldier of the republic. That car alone was flooded with light. The count- less thousands, extending from the station far out into the suburbs of the national capital, waiting patiently there in the Grenching rain to pay farewell, had an opportunity to catch a- last fleeting glimpse of the flag-covered casket as the train sped by. Several thousand people on the bridge over the eastern branch of the Potomac, straining for a last look, could be seen by the lights strung along the bridge as the train moved along under it. The fun- eral train will be preceded fifteen minutes by a pilot engine. After clearing’ Wash- to be running through a tunnek, so black was the night.

A clear-drawn bugle call sounded a requiem. At the Union station crowds packed the station. Hundreds of people had gained access to the train shed and they gazed sorrowfully at the casket while the locomotives were being shifted.

In clarion tones, Captain Millar began to read the official announcement of the death of President McKinley, but in a few moments his voice grew husky with emotion, while tears could be seen in the eyes of soldiers and spectators alike.

An- drews, the oldest Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, then took his position at the head of the bier. A gentle breeze through the rotunda stirred the delicate blooms which lay upon the coffin, and the “peace that passeth all understanding’ seemed to rest upon the venerable man's countenance as he began his eulogy of the life and works of William McKiniey. His words were simple, but his whole heart was in every one of them. His tribute to the Christian fortitude of the dead Presi- dent was impressive. Upon the conclusion of the sermon the audience, as if by pre- arrangement, joined the choir in singing Nearer, My God, to Thee.” All present seemed to be imbued with a sentiment of hallowed resignation as the divine bless- ing was asked by Rev. W. H. Chapman upon both the living and the dead. Mrs. McKinley did not attend the serv- ices at the Capitol. It was deemed wise by these nearegt and dearest to her that she should not undergo_the ordeal. She remained at the White House, comforted by every attention that loving thoughtful- ness could sugges! sl AU IMPRESSIVE SERVICE IN CAPITOL ROTUNDA Bishop Andrews “of Ohio Delivers a Touching Sermon at the Catafalque. WASHINGTON, #ept. 17.—The funeral services at the Capitol over the remains of the late President McKinley were sim- ple and beautiful. They were in the form prescribed in the Methodist church. Two hymns, a prayer, an address and a bene- diction comprised all of it, yet the im- pression left at the end was of perfec- tion. The people were slow in gathering. Among the first comers were the army of- ficers. General Randolph, in charge of the military arrangements at the Capi- tol, was first among these, and soon after- ward came General Gillesple, chief of engineers, and General Fitzhugh Lee. Soon the number of officers became too great to distinguish them and the ro- tunda began to light up with the flashes of gold lace and gilt buttons and flash- ing sword scabbards, scattered: through the soberly dressed crowd of -civillans. Before 10 o'clock the latter had assem- bled in such numbers as to fill the greater part of the seating space not reserved for the persons in the funeral procession who were to enter the rotunda.’ Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey made his appearance, accompanied by General Otis, General Davis and General Rug- gles. He glanced over the scene within and then took up his station at the east- ern entrance, where he was joined by the othsr members of the guard of honor. Opening of Services. Mrs. Hobart and her son and Mrs. Rus- sell A. Alger, escorted by General Hooker, also entered at this time. The clergg' men and the_ choir, the latter from the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, which Mr. McKinley attended, filed in and were seated at the head of the catafalque. At 10:40 o’clock the Cabinet entered and were seated to the south of the platform, and then, to the strains of *‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” by the Marine Band out- side, the casket was borne into the ro- tunda. General Gillesple and Colonel Bingham led the way and every one arose. The guard of honor on either side sepa- rated and the casket was placed gently upon the catafalque. Next came mem- bers of the family of the deceased, Abner McKinley leading. They were seated near the head of the casket. Mrs. Me~ Kinley was not present. Senator Hanna was with the family party. Next the diplomatic in full court regalia, and were seated to the south, Former President Cleveland, with General Wilson, his escort, sat in the first row. Lastly came President Roose- velt, escorted by Captain Cowles and pre- ceded by Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the late President. He was given a seat at the end of the row occupied by the Cabi- net, just south of the casket. Mr. Roose- velt's face was set and he appeared to be restraining his emotions with difficulty. ‘When the noise occasioned by seating the late comers had ceased a_ hush fell upon the people and then the choir softly sang ‘“Lead, Kindly Light,” while every one stood in reverence. Listen With Bowed Heads. At the conclusion of the hymn Rev. Dr. Henry R. Naylor, presiding elder of the Washington District Methodist Episcopal Church, delivered the invocation, while the distinguished company listened with L R e e e T ) Willlam McKinley: The distressing duty devolves upon the Sec- retary of War of announcing to the army the death of Willlam McKinley, President of the United States, which occu: at Buffalo at 2:15 o'clock a. m. on the lith day of Septem- r, 1901. The grief into which the nation has been plunged by the untimely death of its Chief Magistrate will be keeniy felt by the army of the United States, in which in his early man- hood he rendered conspicuous and patriotic services and in whose welfare he manifested at all times a profound and ablding solicitude, ‘Appropriate funeral honors will be paid to the memory of the late President and com- mander-in-chief at the headquarters of every military division and department, at every military post, at the military academy at West Point .and at every camp of troops of the United States in the fleld.

With the close of the reading of the an- nouncement the ceremony was brought to an end. The infantry, cavalry and artil- lery wheeled into line and to the muslc of the bands returned to their respective quarters. Horses were stabled, arms were stacked, the fleld artillery pieces were placed in the sheds and all further work was suspended for the day. Guard mount- ing and the firing of the sdlutes were the only other functions performed at the residio. The half-hour guns were fired from a fleld piece in front of the artillery ba racks, the firing squads being in charge of corporals of artillery. At sunset forty- five guns were fired by a battery and a dense fog, rolling in from the ocean, hung ke a pall over the post, At Alcatraz, Angel Island, Fort Mason and Fort Baker simllar ceremonies were eld, The official announcement of the Presi. dent’s death was read on all United Btates ghips at Mare Island or in the bay of Ban Francigco, The ensigns and jacks were displayed at half mast and salutes were fired by the navy in memory of the martyred President, Al work will be suspended to-morrow Continued on Ppge Three, 8 entered, all bowed heads. The prayer was as follows: O Lord God, our heavenly father, a be- reaved nation cometh to thee in its deep sorrow. To whom can we go in such an hour as this but unto thee? Thou only art able to comfort and support the afflicted. Death strikes down the tallest and best of men and constant changes are continually occurring among nations and communities. But we have been taught that thou art the same yester- day, to-day and forever; that with thee there 18 No variableness, nor the least shadow of turning. So in the midst of our grief we turn to thee for help. We thank thee, O Lord, that thou didst give to this nation a man whose loss we mourn to-day. We thank thee for the pure and unselfish life he was enabled to live in the midst of so eventful an ex- perfence. We thank thee for the faithful and distinguished services which he was en- abled to render to thee, to our country and to the world, We bless thee for such a eiti- zen, for such a lawmaker, for such a Gov- crnor, for such a President, for such a hus- band, for such a Christian example and for such’a friend. But, O Lord, we deplore our loss to-day; sincerely deplore thy sanctifying benediction. We pray thee for that dear one who has been walking by his side through the years, shar- :ng his triumphs and partaking of his sorrows. Give to her all needed sustenance and the comfort her stricken heart so greatly craves. And under the shadow of this great calamity may she learn as never before the fatherhood of ‘God and the matchless character of his sustaining grace. And, O Lord, we sincerely pray for him upon Wwhom the mantle of Presidential author- ity has so suddenly and unexpectedly fallen. Help him to walk worthy of the high vocation whereunto he has been called. He needs thy guiding hand and thine Inspiring spirit con- tinually. May he always present to the na- tion and to the world divinely jllumined judg- ment, a brave heart and an unsullied char- acter. Hear our prayer, O Lord, for the official family of the administration, those men who are associated with thy servant, the Presi- dent, in~the administration of affairs of gov- ernment. Guide them in all their deliberations to the nation’s w.ifare and to the glory of years ago And now, O Lord, we humbly pray for thy blessing and consolation to come_ to all the people of our land and nation. Forgive our past shortcomings; our sins of omission as well as our sins of commission. Help us to make the golden rule the standard of our lives, that we may ‘‘do unto others as we would have them do unto us.” and thus be- come indeed a people whose God is the Lord. These things we humbly ask in the name of him who taught us when we pray to say: “Our father -which art in heaven, hallowed by thy name: thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that tres- pass against us. And lead us not into tempta- tion, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and glory, for- ever. Amen."" Sermon of the Bishop. As the pastor ceased the voices of the choir swelled forth and the rich, pure soprano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes led the hymn, “Sometime We'll Under- stand.” The music was remarkably ef- fective and tonching as the notes came back in soft echoes from the fullness of the dome overhead. soon as ‘the hymn ceased Bishop Edward Andrews of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who had come from Ohio to say the last words over the remains of his_life-long friend and parishioner, arose. He stood at the head of the casket and spoke in sympathetic voice and with many evi- dences of deep emotion. The Bishop said: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, who of his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope of the resurrection of Christ from the dead to an inheritance in- corruptible, undefiled and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for use who are now, by the power of God, through faith unto salva- tion, ready to be revealed in the last time. The services for the dead are fitly, al- most of necessity, services of religion and of immortal hope. In the presence of the shroud and the coffin and the narrow home, ques- tions concerning intellectual quality, concern- ing public station, concerning great achieve- ments, sink into comparative insignificance, and questions concerning character and man’s relation to the Lord and giver of life, even the life eternal, emerge to our view and im- press themselves upon us. Character abides. We bring nothing this world, we carry nothing out. We our- selves depart with all the accumulations of tendency and habit and quality which the years have given to us. We ask, therefore, even at the grave of the illustrious, not al- together of the great achievement they had performed and how they had commended them- selves to the memory and affection and respect of the world, but chiefly of what sort they were; what the interior nature of the man ‘was; what were his affinities. Were they with the good, the true, the noble? What his re- lation to the inflnite Lord of the universe and to the compassionate Savior of mankind; what his fitness for that great hereafter to which he had p: e And such great questions come {5 us with the moment, even in the hour, when we gather around the bler of those whom we profundly respect and eulogize and whom we tenderly love. In the years to come we will give fuil utterance as to the high statesmanship and great achievements of the illustrious man whom Wwe mourn to-day. We shall not touch them to-day. The nation already has broken out in its grief and poured its tears, and is still pouring them, over the loss of a beloved man. It is well.’ But we ask this morning of what sort this man is, so that we may, perhaps, knowing the moral and spiritual life that is past, be able to shape the far-with- drawing future. : Love of Justice and Right. I think we must all concede that nature and training and—reverently be it sald—the inspira- tion of Almighty conspire to conform a man ad- mirable in his moral temper and aims. None of us can doubt, I think, that even by nature he was eminently gifted. ~The kindly, calm and equitable temperament, the kindly and gener- ous heart, the love of justice and right and the tendency toward faith and loyalty to unseen powers and authorities—these-things must have been with him from his chilahood, from his infancy; but upon them supervened the train- ing for which he was always tenderly thankful and of which even this great nation, from sea to sea, continually has taken note. It was a humble home in which he was born. It is a beautiful thing that to the end of his life he bent reverently before that mother whose example and teaching and prayer had so fashioned his mind and all his aims. The school came but briefly and then came to him the church with a ministration of power. He accepted the truth which it taught. He bellevd in God and in Jesus Christ, through whom God was revealed, He gladly’ partook with his brethren of the symbols of mysterious passion and redeeming love of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was helpful in all the beneficiaries and act. ivities, and from the church to the close of his life he received ‘inspiration that lifted him above much of the trouble and weakness inci- dent to our human nature, and blessings be to od, may we say, in_the last and final hour they enabled him ‘confidently, tenderly to say, “It 1s his will, not ours; that will be done,” Such Influences gave to us Willlam MeKinley and it was he? A man of incorruptible per- sonal and political integrity. I suppose no one into Perhaps You Don’t Know That we make all kinds of stafionery, that we have our own printing plant and :::r'n olnbwark 'thu uhnllonlndrlulu. Wwe have a fagtory that produces all kinds of artistic rnmyun mdymaum ] that we have the most expert workm ‘2 i R sunborn, Vai ‘& Co, us Markst ever attempted to approach him In the way of a bribe; and we remember, with great felicita- tion at'this time for such an example to our- selves, that when great financial difficulties and perils encompassed him. he determined to de- Liver all he possessed to his creditors; that there should be no challenge of his perfect honesty in the matter. A man of immaculate purity, shall we say? No stain was upon his escutch- eon, no syllable of suspicion that I ever heard was whispered against his character. He walked in perfect and noble self-control. Beyond that, this man had somehow wrought In him a great and generous love for his fellow- men. He believed in men. He had himself been brought up among the common people. He knew 'their labors, struggles, necessities. He loved them. Shall T speak @ word next to that which I hardly advert to, the tenderness of that democratic love which has so often beeen commented on? I pass it with only that word. 1 think no words can set forth fully the unfaltering kindness and carefulness and up- bearing love which belonged to this great man. And he was a man who believed in right, who had a profound conviction that the courses of this world must be ordered in ac- cordance with everlasting righteousness, or this world’s highest point of good can never be reached; that no nation can expect satis- factory life except as it conforms to the eter- nal laws of the infinite Lord and shows itself in individual and callective activity, according to that divine will. And now may I say further that it seems to me that to whatever we may attribute all the illustriousness of this man, all the greatness of his achievements, whatever of that we may attribute to his in- tellectual character and quality, whatever of it we may attribute to the patient and thor- ough study that he gave to the varlous ques- tions thrust upon him for attention; all his successes as a politician, as a statesman, as a man of this great country, those successes were largely due to the moral qualities of which I have spoken. They drew to him the hearts of men everywhere and particularly of those Who best knew him, McKinley’s Great Qualities. His qualities ever assoclated him in kindly relations with those who were his political oppouents. They made it possible for him o enter that land with which he as one of the soldiers of the Union had not been in sym- pathy during the war end to draw closer the tie that was to bind all hearts into one firmer and one indissoluble union. They commanded the confidence of the great hody of Congress, 50 that they listened to his plans and ac- cepted kindly and hopefully and trustfully all his declarations. His qualities gave him repu- tation, rot in this land alone, but throughout the world, and made it possible for him to minister in the style he has within the last two or three years ministered to the welfare and peace of humankind. Wil all of such a man die?, Is it possible. that he who created, redeemed, transformed, uplifted, illumined such a man will permit him to fall into ob- livion? The instincts of morality are in all good men. The divine. word of the Scrinture leaves us no room for doubt. “I’ said one whom he trusted, “am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, vet shall he live, and whosoever Tiveth and believeth in me shall never die, " Lost to us, but not to his God. Lost from earth, but entered in heaven. Lost from these labors and tofls and perils, but entered into the everlasting peace and ever advancing progress. Blessed be God, who gives us this hope in the hour of our calamity and enables us to triumph through him who hath redeemed us. If there is a personal immortality before him, let us all rejoice that there is Immortal- ity and memory in the hearts of a large and ever-growing people, who, through the ages to come, the generations that are yet to be, will losk back upon this life, upon its nobility and purity and service to humanity, and thank God for it. The years draw on when his name shall be counted among the illustrious of the earth. Willlam of Orange is not dead. Crom- well is not dead. Washington lives in the hearts and lives of his countrymen. Lincoin, with his infinite sorrow, lives to teach us and to lead us on. And McKinley shall summon all staiesmen and all his countrymen to purer living, nobler aims, sweeter and fmmortal blessedness. As the Bishop concluded every one in the vast rotunda rose, and while the choir {ntoned the alr hundreds of volces joined n the hymn, ‘“Nearer. My God, to Thee.” It was an affecting moment. In the midst of the singing Admiral Robley Evans, ad- vancing with silent tread, placed a beau- tiful blue floral cross at the foat of the casket. The last notes died away softly, and with uplifted hands benedietion was pronounced by Rev. Dr. W. H. Chapman, acting pastor of the Metropolin Church. This ended the religious service. here was a pause for a few minutes while the ushers cleared the aisles and the assemblage began to withdraw. First to retire was President Roosevelt, preced- ed a short distance by Major McCauley and Captain Gilmore, with Colonel Bing- ham and Captain Cowles almost pressing against him. The remainder of tge com- pany retired in the order in which they entered, the Cabinet members following the President, and after them going the diplomatic corps, the Supreme Court, Senators and Representatives, officers of 5};; army and navy and officials of less ree. TEAR MRS. McKINLEY MAY SOON BREAK DOWN Friends of the Late President's Widow Alarmed Over Proba- bility of a Collapse. ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—The friends of Mrs. McKinley ars seriously alarmed about her. They speck with grave appre- hension of the days that are Soon to come, when ghe will be borne up no longer by her sense of duty and the sus- taining force of her desire to perform her full part in the ceremonies that the na- tional character and tragic end of her dis- tinguished husband made appropriate. They dread the approaching days in the quiet of her home at Canton, where her beloved “Major’” will not be near to com- fort her in the reaction that will follow inevitably after the present shock. It is believed “that she will be able to go Ahrough the services at Canton without too great difficulty, but'subsequently a collapse is greatly feared.

John A, Logan, 'y MGKINLEY'S SLAYER ARRAIGNED | IN COUNTY COURT AT BUFFALQ AND REFUSES TO MAKE ANSWER Czolgosz Passes the Draped Pictures of the pead President Without Slightest Emotion on His Way to the Bar of Justice. Crowds Gather to Gain a Glimpse of the Infamous Prisoner, but No Attempt Is Made to Ob- struct the Process of the Law. UFFALO, Sept. 17.—Leon F. Czol- gosz, the assassin of President Mc- Kinley, was arraigned before Judge Edward K. Emery in the County Court at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the indictment for murder in the first degree. Agsain the stubborn prisoner refused to plead or even to utter a word or sound, and Lcran L. Lewis, ex- Supreme Court Justice, entered a plea of not guilty. The accused will be tried in the Supreme Court next Monday morning. Crowds flocked to the City Hall to-day to see the prisoner, and the most notable incident of the day was the hissing of the prisoner by the crowds who surged around him as he was being escorted down the stairs, which were still draped in mourning garb. The strong guard of patrolmen and Deputy Sheriffs had been dispensed with, so that the people were able to get nearer the prisoner as he passed to and from the courtroom. Prisoner Will Wot Talk. As a result of the urging of President Adelbert L. Moot of the Erie County Bar Association, Judge Lew:s, one of the at- torneys assigned as ccunsel by Judge Emery yesterday, called at the Erle County Jall at 2 o’clock this afternoon to see the prisoner. Czolgosz refused to talk to Judge Lewis, and refu: to answer questions as to whether or not he wanted any counsel. Judge Lewis said that, nevertheless he would appear for the prisoner upon arraignment, even if he de- cided not to accept the assignment of the court. a Absolutely no demonstration having been made against the prisoner yesterday the authorities decided that the strong guard was unnecessary ro-day. Czolgosz Wwas' taken from the jail through the tun- nel under Delaware avenue to the City Hall by Detectives Solomori and Geary, being handcuffed to the latter. In Yassing from the basement of the City Hall te the courtroom on_ the second floor, Czolgosz was compelled to pass close to the black and white hunting with which the pillars, ceiling, windows and stairways of the City_Hall were draped when the body of the President was lying in state on Sun- day. These evidences of the city's grief made not the siightest impression on the prisoner and he gave no more heed to them or to the large portraits of the President draped with American flags than he did to the questions of the court or the District Attorney. The prisoner entered the courtrocmdjuat as the city clock was striking 3, and as many of the curious spectators as could surged into the courtroom behind him. A [ R e ] SONS OF REVOLUTION HONOR DEAD PRESIDENT California Society Expresses Its De- votion and Respect in Sympa- thetic Resolutions. The board of managers of the California Society of the Sons of the American Rev- olution by unanimous vote at a special meeting held Monday evening adopted the following resolutions: ‘Whereas, The murderous hand of an assas- sin has ruthlessly cut short the great life of William McKinley, the beloved President of the United States, at a tim: when, with love for all and offense toward ncne, his wise coun- sel and strong statesmanship were being exeri- ed in the administration of our national af- fairs; and ereas, He was an honored member of this soclety, whose name sheds luster upon our Toster, and whose distinguished example as a patriot, sincerely devoted to his country, will ever incite not only us, but all mankind, to a loftier devotion to duty; and Whereas, As President of the republic at a period which will ever be kncwn and recognized as marking a new and glorious era in our national_life, he achieved a fame that will live while our Government shall endure, en- titling him to rank with the wisest of states- men, the noblest of patriots and the greatest of Americans; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, do herehy give expression to our heartfelt grief at the dreadful calamity that has overtaken the nation in the tragic death of so great and €0 good a man. As a citizen we honored him; as patriots we followed him, and now as men we mourn him. Let ashes mingle with ashes, and dust with dust, for such is the lot of man: but while the tomb shall hold in its unyelding embrace the body of William McKinley his spirit shall live until the end of time, and to that cause which his life was sacrificed, we, the Sone of Revolutionary Sires, do upon = this solemn occasion reconsecrate our lives.

Out of respect to the memory of Presi- dent McKinley the Board of Police Com- missioners adjourned last evening after the roll had been called Commflsloner ‘Wallace made the motion for such an ac- tion, at the same time speaking of the grief into which the country had been plunged by the untimely death of its chief executive. The motion was seconded by both Commissioners Howell and Ma- honey and was unanimously carried.

As soon as Czolgosz was before the bar and the handcuffs were removed District Attor- ney Penny began the formal a.rralg‘\' He read the principal charges «a ment. the indictment in a volce of severity and e ow do you plead—gullty or mot gullty?” Assassin Still Stubborn. Not a sound was uttered by the prison- er. He stood mute before the bar of justice, apparently continuing his feint of insanity, which was noticed for the first time when he was taken into court yes- terday afternoon. His curly hair was dis- heveled, and, although his linen was white and clean, his disordered clothes and the growth of his beard gave him an unkempt appearance. Spectators in the courtroom commented on the fact that if he were shaved, which he has not been since the day of the shooting, he would be a fairly good-looking young man. Al- though his demeanor was still one of stubbornness, he gave a little more evi- dence of comcern than upon his first a, pearance in court. When questions wers being asked of him rapidly he moistened his lips with his tongue and seemed to endeavor to maintain the appearance of stolld_indifference. In bis roaming glances the prisoner's eyes met those of a reporter, who stared him full in the face. In a moment the prisoner’s eyelids dropped and he shifted uneasily. However, aside from the slight evidence of uneasiness, Czolgosz's appear- ance was that of a man shamming insanity. When the prisoner refused to {leld the District Attorney asked him if he under- stood what had been read, and, receiving no answer, told him that he had been in- dicted for murder in the first degres and that he could answer “yes” or “no.” For an instant Czolgosz glanced at Mr. Pen- ny, and it was thought that he intended to_speak, but he did not. Judge 'wis then add the eoll’ at length, saying that he had called upon the defendant but had been unable to as- certain of any wish on the defendant's part as to the employment of counsel. He sald that his associate, Judge Titus, was in Milwaukee, but that he had ap- peared informally to enter a plea of not guilty on behalf of the defendant. He asked permission to reserve the right to withdraw the plea and enter a special plea or interpose a demurrer if, after con- sulting with Judge Titus, they decided not o ask the court to assign other counsel. The Judge expressed his regret that his name had been mentioned in connection with this trial, as he had been out of practice for some considerable time and had a very strong repugnance to appear, although that was a reason which Wo apply to every lawyer. District Attorney Penny gave noti that he would move to have the lnd(x ment transferred to the Supreme Court for trial, and would also notice the trial for next Monday morning. “I know of no reason why the defe dant should not be ready next Monday. replied Judge Lewis. At his request, however, the orders will not be entered until Judge Titus returns, which will probably be in a day or two. Judge Lewis said also that he might also like an order of the court for alien- ists to examine the prisomer, as the Dis- trict Atorney had informed him that eminent alienists had examined the pris- oner on behalf of the people. This gave rise to the bellef that a special plea of insanity may be entered by the counsel for the defense. ‘“Remove the prisoner,” sald Judge Emery, and Czolgosz was taken back to jail by the underground route, again passing the garb of mourning.
