MCKINLEY’S ASSASSIN,
Paid the Penalty of His Crime With
His Own Life This Morning.
He Died Qame and Unrepen
tant—Wanted to Make a
Statement “Where There
Were a Lot of People Pres
ent,” But This Was Refused.
Declared in the Death Cham
ber That He Was Not Sorry
For His Crime.’
Auburn, N. Y., Oot. 29.—Leon. P.
Ozolgosz, the assasBiu of President Wil
liam McKinley, was electrocuted in the
de.>th chamber of the state prison at
twelve minutes and thirty seoonds after
seven o’clock this morning.
Ho showed no fear, and, in fact, did
what few condemned men have done—
talked while being strapped to the
chair. The death warrant was read to
him early this morning, after which he
dressed in a suit of olothes presented for
the occasion.
After this formality Ozolgosz said he
wanted to make a statement "where
there were a lot of people present," bnt
this was refused.
• Then I won’t talk,” said the prisoner
sullenly.
At 7 ill the prisoner entered the death
chamber. His head ereot and with hlB
gray flannel shirt turned baok at the
neok, he looked qnite boyish. He was in
tensely pale and as he tried to throw his
head baok and oarry himself ereot his
ohin quivered peroeptibly. As he was
being sealed he looked about at the as
sembled witnesses and said:
"I killed the President beoause he was
the enemy of good people—of the work
ing people."
"I am not sorry for my crime,” he
said, loudly, just ns the guard unshed
his head baok on the rubber head rest
and drew the strap across his aforehead
and ohin. As the pressure on the strap
tightened he mumbled:
"I am awfully sorry I. could not see
my father.”
Warden Meade raised his hand, the
current was applied throe times, and at
7:17 the warden announced:
"Gentlemen, the prisoner is dead."
His Last Interviews. ,
Ozolrosz held h;s last two interviews
last night, the first with Superintend
ent Godins and the second witli his
brother and brother-in-law. Both of
the interviews were brief and the inter
viewers did most of the talking until
the question of religion was mentioned,
when Czolgosz broke from ins seeming
lethargy and violoutly denounced the
church and the clergy and made his rel
atives promise that there shonld be uo
service for him living or dead.
Prior to the late evening interviews,
Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers
Fndzinski and Hiokoy. It was late in
the afternoon, and occurred alter he
had once refused to meet them. When
they reaohed the prison Superintendent
Collins oonveyed the request for an in
terview to the piisouer. Czolgosz Bent
back word that he did not care ro see
them, bnt the priests asked lobe allowed'
to go to him despite his refusal.
Superintendent Collins consented and
personally escortod them to the cell.
The priests remained with Czolgosz for
three-quarters of an hour, and earnestly
pleaded with the prisoner to repent and
pray for divine forgiveness. He rej eoted
all their advances, however, and they
regretfully withdrew. They told the
pilsoner they would hold themselves
ready to ahswer a call from him at any
hour of the night.
It was 7 o’olook when Superintendent
Collins went into the death house and
triod to get the prisoner to talk to him.
Although he remained in the oell some
time he was apparently not suooessful
in getting any material talk from him.
Wanted No “Damned’’ Religion.
At 8 o’olook the brother and brother-
in-law arrived and Superintendent Col
ons took them down to the condemned
man’s oell. There was no demonstra
tion when they met. Ozolgosz merely
stepped to the front of his steel oage
and said:
’Hello.” The brother ventured the
remark, "I wish you would tell us,
Leon, what got you into this sorape.”
The assassin answered in a slow, hes
itating manner: "Ho one -, nobody had
anything to do with it but me."
■That is not how you were brought
up," said the brother, "and you ought
to tell us everything now.”
•I haven’t got anything to tell,” he
answered in a surly manner.
■Do you want to see the priests
again?" asked his brother.
And he answered with more vehem
ence than he had previously shown:
"No, damn them, don’t send them here
agan; I dont want them.”
The brether-in-law interjeoted here:
That's light, Leon."
The brother looked rather disturbed
by the answers. Then stepping up olose
to the bars, the condemned man said:
“And don't you have any praying
over me when I'm dead. I don’t want
it. I don't want any of their damned
religion."
No Ulinstly Relics to he Left.
Waldeok Czolgosz, brother of the
murderer, foreseeing endless difficulties
and possibly angry demonstrations ns
tho res.'lt of an attempt to give the
body ordinary burial, hooded the advice
of Supeihitendont of State Prisons Col
lins and Warden Meado, and formally
relinquished all claim to it. He merely
stipulated that at the close of tlje au
topsy all pv-ts of tho body should bo
bulled. Allchapcoof an unhappy and
unfortunate sequel to the execution
either in displays of popular contempt
or the exhibition of ghastly relics, is
therefore finally prevented.
The plan of burning his clothing and
papers will bo carried out.
Sewing as a business is nn exacting and
exhausting occupation. Long hours, fine
work, poor light, unhealthy atmosphere

—these are only some
which fret the nerves and hurt the gen-

condition of the womanly organism
which causes backache or headache and
