CZOLCOSZ
SENTENCED
To Be Electrocuted During the
Week,
BEGINNING OCTOBER 28TH, 1901
The Prisoner at Last Talks-Informs
the Court That He Had No Ac
complices, $
Buffalo, Sept. 26.—Leon F. Czol
gosz, the assassin of President Mc-
Kinley, was this afternoon sen
tenced to be electrocuted in Au
burn'state prison during the week
beginning Oct. 28, 1901. .Before
sentence was passed the assassin
evinced a desire to speak, but he
could not get his voice above a
whisper and his words were re
peated to the court by his counsel.
•‘There was no one else but me,”
the pri-oner said in a whisper.
“No one else told me to do it and
no one paid me to do it. I was not
told anything about the crime and
I never thought anything about
that until a couple of days before
I committed the crime.”
Czolgosz sat down. He was
quite calm, but it was evident that
his mind was flooded with thoughts
of his own distress. His eyes were
dilated, making them appear very
bright. His cheeks were a trifle
pale ana his outstretched hand
trembled. The guards put the
handcuffs on his wrists. He look
ed at one of the officers. There
was an expression of the profound
est fear and helplessness in his
eyes. He glanced about at the
people who crowded the room in
efforts to get a look at him. The
prisoner’s eyelids rose and fell
tremulously and then he fixed his
gaze on the floor in front of him.
At this point Judge Titus came
over to the prisoner and bade him
good-bye. Czolgosz replied very
faintly, letting his eye rest upon
the man who has been his coun
sel.
“Good-bye,” he said weakly.
Czolgosz was then hurried down
stairs and through the “tunnel of
sobs” to the jail, where he will re
main until removed to Auburn to
pay the penalty for his crime.
Although the time announced
for the convening of court was 2
o clock every seat and every foot
of standing room were occupied be
fore 1:30, and scores were clamor
ing outside for admittance. The
doors were locked and no more
were admitted to the room.
The prisoner was brought into
the room at five minutes to two
As soon as Justice White assumed
the bench District Attorney Penny
said:
“If your honor please, I move
sentence in the case of the people
vs. Peon F. Czolgosz. Stand up,
Czolgosz.”
Clerk Fisher swore the prisoner
and his record was taken by the
district attorney as follows:
Age, 28 years; nativity, Detroit;
residence, Broadway, Nowaks,Buf
falo; occupation, laborer; married
or single, single; degree of educa
tion, common school and parochial;
religious instruction, Catholic;
parents, father living, mother dead;
temperate or intemperate, temper
ate; former conviction of crime,
none.
The clerk of the court then ask
ed:
"Have you any legal cause to
show now why the sentence of the
coart should not now be pronoun
ced against you?”
‘T cannot hear that,” replied
the prisoner.
Clerk Fisher repeated the ques
tion and Czolgosz replied:
"I’d rather have this gentleman
here speak,” looking towards Dis
trict Attorney Penny, "I can hear
him better.”
At this point Justice White told
those in the court room that they
must be quiet pr they would be ex
cluded from the room.
Mr. Penny then said to the pris-
"Both my wife and myself liave bn
utfng CASCARETS aud ttiev are the beet
medicine tee have ever had in the house. Last
week my wife was frantic with headache for
twodays. she tried someof youi'CASCARETS,
and they relieved the pain in bev head almost
immediately. V'e both recommend Cascarets."

oner:
"Czolgosz, the court wants to
know if you have any reason to
give why sentence should not be
prouounced against you. Have
you anything to say to the judge?
Say yes or no.”
JUDGE WHITE ADDRESSES PRIS
ONER.
The prisoner did not reply and
Justice White, addressing the pris
oner, said:
' In that behalf, what you have
a right to say relates explicity' to
the subject in hand here at this
time and which the law provides,
why sentence should not be now
pronounced against you and is de
fined by the statute.
“The first is that you may claim
that you are insane.
“The next is that you have good
cause to offer either in arrest of the
judgment about to be pronounced
agaiust you or foi anew trial.
Those are the grounds specified by
the statute in which you have a
right to speak at this time and you
are at perfect liberty to do so if
you wish.”
The prisoner replied:]]
“I have nothing to say about
that,”
The court said:
“Are you ready?”
Mr. Penny replied: “Yes.”
“Haye you anything to say?”
asked Justice White.
“Yes,” replied the prisoner.
“I think he should be permitted
to make a statement in exculpa
tion of his act if the court please,”
said Judge Titus.
The court replied: “ That will
depend upon what his statement
is.”
Justice White then said:
‘ Have you (speaking to Judge
Titus) anything to say in behalf
of the prisoner at this time?”
“I have nothing to say within
the definition of what your honor
has read,” replied the attorney,
“but it seems to me in order that
the innocent should not suffer by
this defendant’s crime the court
should permit him to exculpate at
least his father, brother and sis
ters.”
The court —Ceaainly, if that is
the object of any statement he
wishes to make, proceed.”
The prisoner said:
“There was no one else but me.
No one else told me to do it, and
no one paid me to do it.”
Judge Titus repeated it as fol
lows, owing to the ptisoner’s fee
ble voice:
"He says no one had anything
to do with the commission of his
crime but himself; that his father
and mother and no one else had
anything to do with and knew
nothing about it.”
The prisonei continued:
“I was not told anything about
that crime and I never thought
anything about murder until a
couple of days before I committed
the crime.”
Judge Titus again repeated as
follows:
"He never told anyone about
the crime and never intended to
commit it until a couple of days
before its commission.”
Then Justice White passed sen
tence as follows:
"In taking the life of our be
loved piesident you committed a
crime which shocked and outraged
the moral sense ol the civilized
world. You have confessed that
guilt aud after learning ail that at
this time can be learned from the
facts and circumstances ot the
case, twelve good jurors have pro
uouuced you guilty and have found
you guilty of murder in the first
degree.
•'You have said, according to the
testimony of creditable witnesses
and yourself, that no other person
aided or abetted you in the com
mission of this terrible act. God
grant it be so. The penalty for
the crime tor w r hich you stand con
victed is fixed by this statute and
it now becomes my duty to pro
nounce this judgment against you.
"The sentence of the court is
that in the week beginning Oct.
28, 1901, at the place, in the man
ner and means prescribed by law,
you suffer the punishment of
death.
"Remove the prisoner.”
The crowd slowly filed out of
the room and the court adjourned
at 2:25.

Theodore Roosevelt contributes

article, called “With the Cougar
Hounds,” describe his adventures
while hunting the mountain lion
last winter in Colorado. The pack
of intelligent hounds who chase
the prey are the heroes of the story
in which the individuality of the
dogs is delightfully portrayed by
Col. Roosevelt. He also in his
first article has gathered many
new facts and references in regard
to the nature of the cougar which
is much in dispute. The article is
therefore a contribution to natural
history. The illustration are from
a collection by Col. Roosevelt’s

SERPENT WOUND.
! A Visit to This Interesting Sp t
Described.
While in Seaman, Ohio, my sis
-1 ter said to me one day, “I will take
j you to see Serpent Mound while
you are here,” so the 27th of Au
gust was fixed on as the date of
our visit there. The day dawned
cloudy and cool. We started at
7:30 a. tn., with Miss Annie Hanna
to show us the way. The drive
was a long one, being fourteen
miles from Seaman on the public
pike that goes to Peebles, 0., from
our starting point. We had a
good surrey, a swift but gentle
horse to drive and arrived at our
destination at 11:25 a. m. The
road was in excellent condition,be
ing made firm with broken stones
and covered over with gravel, and
was called “the pike.”
We passed farm houses with
large pear trees near them, at oth
er places were orchards of apple
trees loaded with rosy fruit, and
pastures where short horn cattle
were grazing. It was a pleasant
and invigorating drive.
We crossed over a small wooden
covered bridge and came in sight
of a handsome residence, with a
small office by the side of it made
with bay windows froi the
road. It had no shutters, shades
or curtains to the windows. This
was a doctor’s residence and office;
at a little distance was acountiy
store. They told me the name of
the place was Tranquility. I
thouglrt what a curious name for
a place, but the people here tnav
be very tranquil or they would not
have named their place Tranquil
ity.
We passed a M. E. church by
the roadside called Flat Run church
and anew building of some soit
was going up by the side of it.
Some of the farm houses we
passed were convenient and nice
buildings with pots of flowers on
the porches and flowers -in the
yards.
As we drew near a large iron
bridge, we could plainly see part
of the Serpent on the top of the
high ridge. After passing over
the bridge that spanned Brush
creek we turned aside from the
pike and drove up to a large gate
by the side of which were a placard
on a board “Mound Park.” We
opened the gate and was soon
driving up a small elevation and
passed down to a spring, which
was inside an enclosure; a small
house made of stone covered this
—i 1— : j x:
spliiig ciiiCi uy gUiii£ UUVVU iiVC Ui
six steps we came inside to the
spring, the water of which was
cool and pleasant.
After partaking of a lunch, we
started to walk up the elevation to
Serpent Mound, which is portion
ed off from Mound Park by an en
closure. The first part we came to
was the tail of the Serpent twisted
into two or three coils,then length
ened out and formed into crooks or
wriggles just like s snake. It was
1400 feet in length and reminded
one of a gigantic snake uncoiling.
It was made of the earth’s soil.
We came to the head. The mouth
was wide open and an egg shaped
mound was tn front of it, which
gave one the impression that the
snake was about to swallow an
egg. Mound Park which contains
the Serpent Mound belongs to the
Peabody Institute of Boston, Mass.,
and is a great attraction to visitors
and travelers, who visit that part
of Ohio. Sallie Posey.

Ten Rules of Politeness-
To be polite is to have a kind re
gaid for the feelings and rights of
others.
Be as polite to your parents,
brothers, sisters and schoolmates
as you are to strangers.
Look people fairly in the eyes
when you speak to them or they
speak to you.
Do not bluntly contradict any
one.
It is not discourteous to refuse
to do wrong.
Whispering, laughing, chewing
gum or eating at lectures, in school
or at places of amusements, is rude
and vulgar.
Be doubly careful to avoid any
rudeness to strangers, such as call
ing out to them, laughing or mak
ing remarks about them. Do not
stare at visitors.
In passing a pen, pencil or poin
ter, hand the blunt end toward the
one who receives it.
When a class-tnate is reciting do
not raise your hand until after he
has finished.
When you pass directly in front
of anyone or accidentally annoy
him, say, “Excuse me.” And
never fail to say “Thank you,” for
the smallest of favors. On no ac
count say “Thanks.”
