IN ELECTRIC CHAIR LEON CZ0L00SZ DIES “I Am Not Sorry For My Crime,” He Said. 1,700 VOLTS DELIVERED Assassin of President McKinley Ex- hibited Kittle Emotion When the Paraphernalia That Was to Haunch Him into Eternity Was Adjusted. Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29.—This morn ing Leon Czolgosz, the murderer of President Wiiiiam McKinley, paid the penalty exacted by the law for his crime. He was shocked to death by 1,700 volts of electricity. Ho went to the chair in exactly the same manner as have the majority of the murderers in this state, showing no particular sign of fear, but in fact doing what but few of them have done—talking to the witnesses while he was being strapped to the chair. Czolgosz retired last night at 10 o’clock ana slept so soundly that when Vv'arden Mead went to call him this morning shortly before 5 o’clock the guard iuside had to shake Czolgosz to awaken him. He sat up on the edge of the cct and made no reply to the war den’s “Good morning.” The prison official took from his pocket the death warrant and read it slowly and distmctly to the assassin, who hardly raised his eyes during the perfunctory ceremony. Just as the warden stepped away from the cell door Czolgosz called to him and said: “I would like to talk with the super intendent.” _ i The warden responded: “He will be down presently.” Then tne condemned man rolled over j on his cot anxious to sleep again. Dons Death Costume. At 5:15, however, the guard brought to him a pair of dark trousers with the left leg slit, so as to allow the free ap plication of the electrode, and a light gray outing shirt. He was told to get up and put these on, which he did. Contrary to the usual custom, he was given a new pair of shoes. When dressed he laid down on the cot again and in this attitude Superintendent Col lins found him at 5:30 when he went down to visit him. The superintendent stood in front of the cell and when the warden had called Czoigosz’s attention, he said: “I want to make a statement before you kill me. ” “What do you wish to say, Czolgosz. asked the superintendent. “I want to make it when there are a lot of people present. I want them to hear mo,” said the prisoner. “Well, you cannot,” said the super intendent. “Then I won’t talk at all,” said the prisoner. After tire superintendent left tne guards brought Czoigosz’s breakfast, consisting of coffee, toast, eggs ana ba con and he ate with quite a good deal of relish. While he was partaking of tlllg tne witnesses were garnering m the offices of Warden Mead and at 7:08 the procession marched to the death cham her, going through the long south cor ridor. Warden Mead gave the signal to have the prisoner brought in and at 7:10 o’clock Chief Keeper Tupper swung open the big steel door leading to the condemned cells, and as the steel bars be hind which Czolgosz had been kept were swung aside and two guards marched the prisoner out into the corridor, two others following and the chief keeper walking in front. The guards on either side of Czolgosz had hold of his arms as if either to sup port him or to keep him from making a demonstration. As he stepped over the threshold he stumbled, but they held him up, and as they urged him forward toward the chair he stumbled again on the little rubber covered platform upon which the chair rests. His head was erect, and with his grey flannel shirt turned back at the neck he looked quite boyish. He was intensely pale and as he tried to throw his head back and carry himself erect his chin quivered very perceptibly. As he was being seated he looked about at the as sembled witnesses with quite a steady stare and said: “I killed the president because he was an enemy of the good people—of the working people.” His voice trembled slightly at first, but gained strength with each word and he spoke perfeot English. “l am not sorry for my crime,” he said loudly, just as the guard pushed his head back on the rubber headrest and drew the strap across his forehead and chin. As the pressures on the strap tightened and bound the jaw siigntlyhe mumbled: “I am awfully sorry I could not see my father.” Warden Gives Signal. DOPED AND ROBBED. Woman In Savannah Hoses $500 Worth of Diamonds. Savannah, Oct. 30.—A woman giv ing her name as Mrs. J. H. Davis, and who said that her husband was a news paper man in New York, turned up at the police barracks asserting she had been doped or dosed with knock-out- drops and robbed of $500 in diamonds and jewelry. The woman said she came to Savannah Monday, one week ago, and stopped at the Marshall House. The next day she got to drinking with some young men, went out for a ride in a car riage and stopped at a house which she named. Then her memory failed her and she knew nothing uniil she came to herself in the house she mentioned yes- terriav morning and found her dia monds missing. The woman was well dressed and evi dently of some refinement-, but her face gave evidence of recent dissipation. She gave to the police, in confidence, the name of her husband, whom she said was employed on a leading New York newspaper, the name used by her being assumed. The detectives sized up the case with little difficulty and soon lo cated the diamonds, which were returned without protest. It was hardly a case of robbery, and as the woman did not desire to prosecute no arrests were made. The diamonds were genuine and hand some. Mrs. Davis, as she called her self, left- on the steamer for New York. Night Was Her Terror. “I would cough nearly all night long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of Alexandria, Iud., and could hardly getr any sleep.

Warden Mead then raised his hand, and at 7:12:30 Electrician Davis turned the switch that threw 1,700 volts of electricity into the body. The rush of the current threw the body so hard against the straps that they creaked perceptibly. The hands clinched suddenly and the whole atti tude was one of extreme tenseness. For 43 seconds the full current was kept on and then slowly the electrician threw the switch back, reducing the current volt by volt until the current was cut off entirely. Then just as it had reached that point, he threw the lever back again for 2 or 3 seconds. The body, which had collapsed as the current was reduced, stiffened up against the straps. When it was turned off again, Dr. Mac Donald stepped to the chair and put his hand over the heart. He said he felt no pulsation, but suggested that the cur rent be turned on for a few seconds a CT ain. Once more the body became rigid. At 7:15 the current was turned off for good. From the time Czolgosz had left his cell until the full penalty was paid, less than four minutes had elapsed. The physicians present used the stethoscope and other tests to determine if any life remained, and at 7H7 the warden, rais ing his hand, announced: “Gentlemen, the prisoner is dead.” The witnesses filed from the cham ber, many of them visibly affected.

New York, Oct. 28.—Commenting on the report that King Edward is suf fering from cancer in the throat, the London correspondent of The Journal and Advertiser says that the king has some ailment which has taken the color from his usually ruddy cheeks and given occasional enfeeblement to his gait is undoubted. Tne English papers as a rule carefully refrain from making allusions to his ail ment and rather incline to speak of his good state of health, but the fact cannot be long concealed that something seri ous i9 the matter with him. In the clubs, in high society and in the circles, of the city the main topic daily is the king’s condition. The old rumors, true or untrue, that the king is suffering from threatened aneurism of the aorta, have penetrated every circle It is impossible to get at his physicians, and inquiries addressed to those sur rounding him are met by dismal head shaking.

Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by druggists 75c. Washington, Oct. 28.—Lieutenant General Miles, in his annual report, states that the strength of the army at the present time was 84,513, of which number 33,874 are in the United States, 43,214 in the Philippines, 4.914 in Cuba, the remainder, in small de tachments, being in Porto Rico, Hawaii, China and Alaska. He says it is ex pected that the force in the Philippines also can be reduced. General Miles does not approve the i present organization of the aitillery [ corps, saying that it establishes another I bureau in Washington. He believes in the former regimental organization. Speaking of the army canteen, which is abolished by the army reorganization law, he says that no injury has resulted, and In the main the law has been bene- fioial. General Miles states his objection to the management of military affairs in the war department in the following language: “While congress has made ample pro vision for the management of military affairs in the organization of the army, whereby the companies, regiments, brigades, divisions and departments are made me units of administration and by statute has ciothed the officials, not only with executive authority, but witn judicial powers and responsibility, yet the tendency has been to absorb and usurp the entire conduct from the mili tary establishment in the city of Wash ington and especially in the staff de partments. This has been found most injurious iu other armies aud is one of the principal defects in our own system. “The evil has been increasing during the wars of the last three years to an extent that, in my judgment, requires serious consideration, aud I recommena that the decentralization be effected, as far as possible, aud that all proper and lawful authority be restored to subordi nate commanders who are provided with an efficient organization, and we can be safely intrusted with responsibility for the efficient and faithfal administration of military affairs commensurate with their important commands.” General Miles recommends the estab lishment of a military school in south ern California and a war college in the city of Washington.
