PLEADE'S "GUILTY"
CZOLGOSZ
UTTERS HIS FIRST
WORD
IN THE
ROOM.
COURT
Assassms's Council Show that
sanity Will be Their
Defence Four furors
Secured.
In-
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept, 23. When
Czolgosz was arranged in court to
day to plead District Attorney Pen
ny read the indicment and asked
"How do you plead?"
Czolgosz answered that lie did
not hear, thus uttering the first
word he has spoken in court.-
The District Attorney re-read
the indicment and repeated the
question as to the prisoner's
rlea.
"Guilty," replied, Czolgosz, in a
firm tone.
Elaborate precautions were taken
to guard the prisoner. He appear
ed in court shackled to two
guards. ,y
The assassin took his seat, and
the question of talesman was re
sumed. The question put by
Justice Lewis shows that the de
fence will be insanity. Four jur
ors were secured when the recess
was taken.
QUESTION OF SANITY.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 22. Judge
Lewis said only the question of
sanity will be submitted by the de
fense. Little difficulty in securing
jurors.
BUIXETS NOT POISONED.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 22. The
most important development in th&
Czolgosz case today was the an
nouncment that no poison had been
found on the bullets or the revol
ver with which the anarchist assas
inated President McKinley. Bac
teriolgical and chemical examina
tions were made and both revealed
the fact that no poison was used by
the murderer.
ASSASSIN'S MENTAL CONDITION.
Annother examination to deter
mined the exact conditions of the
prisoner was made in the Erie
county jail this afternoon by Dr,
Carlos F. McDonald, of New York,
the alinist, who was the doctor of
the defense, and Dr.- Authur Hudd
superintendent of the Buffalo State
Hospital. The alienists were with
assassin for one hour and a half and
when they left both declined to
discuss the case.
THE JURY SAYS GUILTY,
The jury retired at 3:51 to con
sider the evidence. The scene
in the court room then becomes
dramatic in the extreme. At no
time during the absence of the jury
did he raise his eyes or lift his head
or seemed to know that he was the
object interest of several hundred
men and women. Every time the
door opened all eyes was turned in
that direction, the evident thought
m every mind being that the jury
would take onlv a few minutes to
agree on a verdict.
It was 4:25 when the crier rapped
for order and the jury filed into
the room. The clerk read their
names, each responding ."present,
as his name was called.
THE VERDICT.
No time was .wasted. ,.The jur
ors did not sit down. Addressing
them, Justice White said.
Gentlemen , have you ; agreed
I "Wehave," responded Foreman
i Wendt.
''What is vnnrWf?'.
"That the' defendant is erriltv nf
murder in the first degree." "
There was a moment of silence
and then a murmur arose from the
Hps of the crowd. It ended there.
There was no hand clapping; no
cheers . Justice White' s yoice
could be clearly heard in every part
of the room when he thanked1 the
j urors for their work and allowed
them to go until eleven o'clock to
tnnrrnw tnrvrmwnr
w 1 . lUUIUlBili I
Court was af once adjourned.
Czolgosz was immediately handcuff-
ed to his guards and hurried from'
the court room down stairs to the
oasement and through the tunnel
under Delaware Avenue to the jail.

to the White House today from the
residence of his brother-in-law,
Commander Cowles, of the Navy,

tary Hay, Secretary Long and Sec
retary Gage came almost upon his
heels and saw the President for a
few minutes in the Cabinet room.
The doors of the White House
were closed to the public, but ad
mission, of course, was accorded to
those who desired to see the Presi -
kt naUy and within an hour
a score of men, prominent in public
life had called to pay their respects
and to extend their ood wishes for
a successful administration.
Senators Blkins and Scott con
gratulated the President upon the
declaration he had made when ,he
took the oath of office. 4 'That
simple declaration," said Senator
Scott, "immediately restored con
fidence in the business world."
The . President replied that it
would be his aim to be the Presi
dent of the whole people, without
regard to geographical lines or class
distinctions, that it was. the welfare
of all which he should seek to pro
mote.
The President was even more
emphatic in his declaration to Sen
ator Pritchard, of North Carolina,
and Representative Kluttz of North
Carolina, and Representative Gib
son, 01 1 ennessee. , 1 ne ooutn

Senator Pritchard said, speaking
for all the Southern men.

ing good for you and of you, and
the feeling of all the people for you
irrespective of party, is most kindly.
I am going to be president ot
the United States and not of any
section," replied the President, "I
don't care ior sections or secuonai
lines. When I was Governor of
New York I was told I could make

When I sent in tne names, three
were from the South and the other
from New York. 1 hey were brave
men who deserved recognition for
service in the Spanish War, and it
didn't matter what btates they were

from. '
The President talked in the same
vein with Senator Money, of Mis
sissippi, when the latter called, re
minding the Mississippi Senator
that his mother was a ; Southern
woman. "I am half Southern,"
said he. "and I have lived in the
West, so that I feel that I can re
present the whole country."
