As a result of the examination of two famous alienists Dr.

Charles T. MacDonaid and Dr. Allan M. Hamilton of New York City the question of insanity was eliminated from the subjects on which a defense might be based. Small Court Room.

Part III of the Supreme Court of Erie County, wherein Czolgosz to day appeared to answer for the murder of President McKinley, is a small room on the south side of the second floor of the City Hall. It is lighted only at the south end by latticed windows, where the justices' bench and witness stand is placed. On the right of the room are the jurymen's seats, and they have an unobstructed view of the entire room. There is no railing in front of the jurymen and the chairs are placed on a platform some six inches above the doer. The room is high, studded with drab walls, seamed with the cracks of time and showing the need of the scrubwoman's brush.

The inelosure for the bench and bar occupies over one half of the floor space, while the balance is given over to seats for the genera public. Not over 150 of the latter could be accommodated, and these seats today were mainly occupied by the jurymen who were called in readiness for the panel on the Czolgosz case. Very few of what is termed "the general public'' were spectators at the opening of the case to day, because of this fact. Czolgosz, with his counsel, occupied seats directly in front of the justice's beench. The prisoner's chair rested just back of that of Mr.

Titus. Deputy sheriffs with their staves of office were placed at various points in the room and quiet was enforced upon all. The spectators' seats were filled very slowly, owing to the extreme care shown by the officers in the corridors in admitting thoc who applied, and it was not until "court" was announced that the last one was occupied. of ice making toward us from tin: cast and listened to make our escape to the south again. "If we had been caught in that ice we might have been there all winter.

On the 18th of August at 5 o'e lork in the morning, we sighted the America off McClintock Island and joined her. Game Was Plentiful. "The two vessels met. exchanged experiences and proceeded northward together to Aleer Island, where we established our first headquarters at Camp JJieglcr. After build ing our main oouac ej jutmy went uuiniuft.

We found game very abundant. We killed more than seventy walruses, thirteen polar bears and hundreds of seals of all sorts and laid in a supply of fresh moat for the dogs, enough to last a long time. "Captain Baldwin reported everybody in the best of health and everything in prime condition. His crow made up partly of Americans and Dartly of Swedes, all of the highest class mentally and physically. The Swedes! are, almost an ui Luew, cuuurtLes ui i3h seaman's college, men capable of commanding ship's.

There was just enough of generous rivalry between the sailors of the two nationalities to insure the greatest, effort on the part of each not to be outdone by the other. "We bought only 400 dogs, and when we reached there had twenty more than we had bought. These had been given to us by Trouthelm. You never saw a man so absolutely confident of 'success as Captain Baldwin, and every one of his men shares his confidence. "The day before we came away the ice to the northward broke up and drifted out.

leaving open water for fifty miles. We left on August 23, and it was Captain Baldwin's intention to proceed northward with the America the next day. I have no doubt he established himself on the Si parallel on August 24. The' last thing he said to me was that when I saw him again he would tell me about the Pole and would give me a small piece of it as a souvenir. He feels that he is now almost certain of attaining the greatest ambition of his life.

The Trip Homeward. "Our trip South on the Frithjof was a remarkable one. On a vessel which is rated at seven knots maximum speed we made fourteen and fifteen and after touching at Ham merfest, Norway, the most northerly city in the world, we reached Tromsoe on August 30." From Mr. Champ's statements it is evident that Captain Evelyn Briggs Baldwin has been successful in carrying with him over the firs tstaar'e of his journey a greater supply of dogs add men than was ever attempted before. His idea in carrying the remarkable pack of dogs, more than 400 of them, is to make of them when necessary in the final dash northward, food for each other and if necessary, for the men.

It is true that among other supplies the explorer has carried more than 100 tons of dog food, but this will be distributed at the stations and little or none of it will be carried beyond the latitude of the depots to be established this winter. Theories of the Explorer. Captain Baldwin considers his plan of making the food for dogs and men transport itself one of the most valuable elements in the success which he expects. He has very definite theories about the best results to be achieved by the use of dogs, believing that a maximum weight of fifty pounds per dog is as great as can be safely imposed, he has by the use of so iarge a number planned to keep his dogs sleek and well fed and in good condition for kennel or table food. Captain Baldwin has made complete arrangements for the transmission of news back to civilization by buoys, which will beset adrift from time to time.

He has C00 or these, buoys. Four hundred of them will be used in transmitting news of the work in and from Franr, Land and, the balance will be deposited' olf the east coast ot Greenland ior use of any of the party who may chance to arrive there. Beside the buoys he has 40 balloons or a capacity of 3,000 cubic feet each, which will be released, bearing messages inscribed on parchments. If Captain Baldwin tans to rrat the Pole during the summer of 1902 the party will remain until the following summer md renew its efforts to reach it. SAYS CHANLER IS SANE.

Former Justice Van Wyck Has Every Hope of a Favorable Decision in the Louisa County, Courts. Ex Justice Augustus Van Wyck said this that he was making satisfactory progress in his efforts to establish the sanity of his client. John Armstrong Chanler, and that he had not the slightest doubt but the former decision declaring him insane would be set aside, and that Mr. Chanler would be placed again in possession of his property. Mr.

Chanler, who a number of years ago was declared insane by the courts, and thereupon confined in the Bloomingdalc Asylum, made his escape from that institution in November last. For a long time his whereabouts remained a mystery, to solve which, his and relatives scoured the entire country, and even had investigations set afoot in Europe. Last week Mr. Chanler made it known that he had been living quietly at Lynchburg, since his escape. "We have proceedings pending in the Louisa County, Circuit Court." said Mr.

Van Wyck. "in which the question of my client's sanity will be settled. That it will be settled in his favor there can be no doubt. We have employed some of the most, distinguished alienists in the country, men whose testimony in our favor cannot but convince anv court that Mr. Chanler is sane." Among the alienists engaged on the case are Dr.

J. Madison Taylor, Professor Weir Mitchell, Dr. 11. C. Wood, professor of nervous diseases at the University of Pennsylvania; Professor Joseph Jastrow.

president of the American Psychological Society, and Allen McLane Hamilton, professor at Cornell University Medical School and consulting physician to the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane. As soon as a decision has been obtained in the Virginia Court. Judge Van Wyck will make application in the Supremo Court this state to have the tormer judgment set aside. PAY FOR THE TWENTY THIRD.

Berlin, September 23 Otto Pauyr. the editor of Neues Leben, the anarchist sheet which reappeared Saturday after its publication had been suspended for some time, has been arrested and the issue ot' the paper, which was devoted chiefly to articles in connection with the assassination of Presi cient McKinley, has been confiscated. The Neues Leben, Saturday, in commenting on the killing of President McKinley said: "We can neither approve the deed nor condemn the doer." SAMPSON TO BE RELIEVED. In Too Bad Health to Retain Boston Navy Yard. Washington, September 23 Rear Admiral Sampson has requested the Navy Department to relieve him of his present duty as commandant of the Boston Navy Yard on October 1, on account of the bad condition of his health.

Norfolk, September 23 The State Insane Asylum and adjacent buildings, eight in all, were destroyed by fire to day. Six hundred patients were in the institutions at the time, three of whom are missing and supposed to have been burned to death.

The loss Is almost total. The patients are now quartered in an open field and are guarded by local authorities until they can be sent to Lincoln and Hastings asylums. WILLIAM J. O'CONNOR A SUICIDE. Brother in Law of Ex Sheriff Buttling Found Dead From Gas Asphyxiation in His Office in Manhattan.

William J. O'Connor, 30 years ot age, of 153 South Fourth street, this borough, a brother in law ex Sheriff W. J. Buttling, was found dead this morning at 35 West Twenty fourth street, Manhattan, having committed suicide by Inhaling Illuminating gas. O'Connor was the bookkeeper tor the Twentieth Century Wall Paper Company, which lias a Balesroonv und office at the address mentioned.

The company also has a salesroom at 378 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. O'Connor has been with the concern for a year. He was subject to occasional lapses on account of an unfortunate habit of drinking, but was still much esteemed by the company for which he worked. His duties required bis presence part of the time at the Brooklyn store, and as he sometimes went to either of the salesrooms at night to straighten out the books, he had keys to both places. O'Connor was not at work last week.

It is thought that he let himself into the Twenty fourth street place on Saturday night. This morning Louis J. Freeman of 34 Prospect place, this borough, an employe of the company, opened the Twenty fourth 3trcet store. Ho sraelled gas and traced the smell to a toilet room in the rear of the place. There he found the dead body of O'Connor, who had a tube in his mouth, the other end of which was fastened to the gas jet.

He had evidently been dead a number of hours. The officers ot the company said that so Tar as they had been able to discover, the accounts of the bookkeeper were all right. He. wtn married and had three children. No reason for the suicide is known.

It was said that his domestic relations were pleasant. The police of the West Thirtieth street station were notified. So was the Coroner's office. The body was left at the store pending the arrival of the Coroner's physician. At the home of the O'Counors, 153 South Third street, to day it was said that Mrs O'Connor had been notified of her husband death and was prostrated by shook.

Lt. Commander Heilner of the Texas Tells Story of the July 3 Battle. ASTOUNDED BY THE BROOKLYN. Apparition of "Big Gray Ship'" Loomed Up Suddenly Within 150 Yards of the Texas' Hull. Washington, September 23 The members of the Schley naval court of inquiry found the accommodations in the tool shop at the Navy Yard somewhat improved when they met there at the usual hour at 11 o'clock today.

The long bare rooms which hitherto Itad been open from the floor to the roof had been, in appearance, at least, completely transformed over Sunday by the addition of a celling of plain white cloth. This had the efrect also of Improving the acoustics of the hall so that the court and others had less difficulty than formerly In hearing the witnesses. The members of the court were prompt as usual in reaching the Xnvy V'ard, but when they arrived ihcy found Captain Lemly and his assistant, Mr. Hanna, already there busily engaged in getting ready for the day's work. Among the witnesses who reported thia morning were Admiral C.

S. Cotton, Commanders James Madison Miller, A. B. Bates and S. C.

Heilner, Captains B. H. McCalla and William C. Wise and Lieutenants John Hood and Spencer S. Wood.

Admiral Kchley and his counsel arrived at 10:45 o'clock. It was authoritatively stated to day that the Navy Department has no in tention at nresent of bringing Admiral Sampson to Washington as a witness or to participate in any other manner at the inquiry. Few Distinguished Spectators. The hands of she old fashioned hall clock, stauding back of the seats occupied by the court, pointed directly to the hour at 11 o'clock when Admiral Dewey, with a sharp rap of his gavel, called the court to order. There was at that time a somewhat larger on the part of the general public than there had heretofore been at the beginning of the sittings, but there were fewer distinguished personages occupying the reserved seats.

Captain Lemly presented the deck log books of the Brooklyn, Texas, Iowa, Castlne, Mar blehead, Minnesota. New Orleans, Oregon. St. Paul, Scorpion. Yale, Vixen, Eagle, Dupont.

Hawk and Merrimac. "How about the New York?" asked Judge Wilson. "I want to expedite the proceedings." "I have no objection," responded Captain Lemly. "1, too, want to hasten the pro ceedings as much as possible." Proceeding, Captain Lemly said he had suggested such logs as he considered essential and that he would have pTlnted UYo points considered pertinent. "He then indicated the time that he desired covered by the matter to be printed, but Admiral Schley's counsel objected and asked that tbo entire logs, from the time that the fleet left Key West until after the battle off Santiago, be made available.

After sonic exchanges of opinion on the part of counsel, the understanding was readied that such parts of the logs as elthe side desired could be printed. Captain Lemly also presented the steam logs of the Brooklyn. Texas. Massachusetts, Iowa and 'he Marblehead. Admiral Schley's counsel asked to have the log of the Spanish ship Chrlstobal Colon presented.

Schley as a Spanish Scholar. "Very well, if we can find a Spanish scholar to ko through lt and select the facts wanted," said Captain Lemly. "Admiral Schley is a good Spanish scholar and he can malt" such selections as we may dc slre," responded Mr. Raynor. Commander Srbroeder was recalled and asked if he desired to make any corrections in th official record of bis testimony of Saturday.

"There Is one omission from Admiral Schley's remarks on the Massachusetts on the day of tin bombardment of the Colon which 1 overheard, which I should like to supply." In replied. "It is this: He sriid when he came aboard that Admiral Sampson would be there on the following day. II' m. lhat statement In connection with the remark that he was gnlliK in to sink th" Colon." ('(pininander Schrr.oier was thou asked i he hnil no he Information on that point ne was nsKco to read the loc to secure this information.

The purpose of this inquiry was to develop what Messrs. l.eniiy ano jiaiina i error in Admiral Hlgglnstm's testimony. He said that tne ci.um have remained on I lockade for more than twelve days, and that then the vessel would be without coal and powerless to proceed to ccal.

The objection to the question was not pressed, and upon reading from the log Commander Schrtieder said It showed that the Massachusetts had over tons of coal aboard when it arrived at Santi ico.

CHAMP BACK IN NEW YORK. He Tells Plans of the Baldwin Zieg ler Expedition Friction "With Well man Possible. Authentic advices by steamer from Trom sce, Norway, are to the effect that there is likely to be serious trouble in Franz Josef Land between the Baldwin Ziegler expedi tion under Captain Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, and the Weilman party under Walter Well man of Washington. Eoth of these expeditions are starting for the Pole from Franz Josef Land over prac tieally the same route. It will be remembered that some months ago before the start of either party Mr.

Ziegler, the financial backer of Captain Baldwin, stated pubrly that he would tol erate no interference or attempt to use the supplies of his expedition by any other party. Return of Mr. Champ. William S. Champ, the private secretary of William Ziegler, returned to this city today on the White Star steamship Cymric, from the trip to Franz, iosef where he has been as the representative of Mr.

Ziegler, to assist in establishing the headquarters of the Baldwin Ziegler Polar Expedition. When seen at his office, in Liberty street. to day, he was asked to deflne the trouble which had arisen. Mr. Champ said; "On the subject of Weilman I have nothing to say, I will not deny that there may be a lot of trouble with him.

Mr. Champ reports that circumstances and events have fallen out even more favorably for Captain Baldwin's success than the explorer dared hope and that the confidence which the captain has always felt in his ability to accomplish his task was greater Chan it had ever been before. Nothing but the most disastrous series of unforeseen ac cidents, according to Mr. Champ, can prevent Capiain Baldwin from planting the American flag at the spot directly Deneatn me poie star where all directions are south. Mr.

Champ carried a heavy eoat of Franz Josef Land tan and wore a new Van Dyke beard when he appeared at his office to day. Winner Will Deserve Laurels. "I tell you," were his first words, with a rising emphasis. "I tell you that the man who gets to the North Pole will deserve all the honor and glory which he will get. You people here at home read about cold and ice, but you don't really understand.

However, I must tell you about the Baldwin Zieglqr expedition. "To summarize the whole matter, everything is tar better than we ever hoped it would be. I left Baldwin at Camp Ziegler on Alger's Island, in Franz Jpset Land, on August 23, with the best ship, a crew of about 40 of the best men, 420 dogs, 15 Siberian ponies and the most complete equipment of supplies, provisions and implements that was ever taken on such an expedition. "Every member of the party, men and animals alike, was in the very best of health and everybody, including the dogs, brimful of confidence. Description of Camp Ziegler.

"Alger's Island, where we established Camp Ziegler, In honor of the man whose generosity made the expedition Is a small island lying to the northwest of McClintock Island, in the archipelago of Franz Josef Land in latitude SO degrees 24 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees e2 minutes cast. We built a substantial house there in which we stored the provisions, and Camp Ziegler will be the real headquarters of the expedition until sunrise next March. "In the meantime Captain Baldwin will push northward by what he calls the inter channel route, across Markham Sound, between Austria Sound and the British Channel, establishing stations as he goes to the northernmost point of the archipelago, where the Duke of Abruzzi made his headquarters. He will leave men at each station, who will devote the long night to scientific research and to a new and complete chart of the archipelago. The Final Dash Northward.

"Just before the winter night is over Captain Baldwin will come baeli to Camp Ziegler, picking up his men on the way, and with stations and supplies at convenient stages will begin his dash northward. He isn't after farthest north, nor anything of lhat sort. He's after the pole and he believes, and I believe, he'll get It. "The America and the Frithjof left together on July IK. Captain Baldwin with his crew were on the America while I was in Kjeldson.

We r.ailsd direct from North Cape to 2ape Flora, Franz Joset Land, where we arrived on July 20. No Mishap on the Way. "The America reached Archangel without mishap, encountering some very severe weather which she went through without a ripple.

"Troutheim, the man who got the dogs for Dr. Nansen.and the Duke of Abruzzi, was there with the finest, dogs he said he had ever collected, and fifteen of the best Siberian ponies. The Russian governor at Archangel received Captain Baldwin and his men, most cordially dined thorn and lionized them to a degree and offered them the full fr6(lom of tne dls(rict. He was extremely anxious to do something to contribute to the success of the expedition and finally tried to give Captain Baldwin an island or two on which he might keep his dogs." "On the America we met very heavy weather and thick fog 140 miles out. Wo were surrounded by great bergs and fields of ice, which threatened to close In on us and crush us.

Those of us who had never been north before thought that it was all off. but, after lots of new sensations and experiences, we got through and no damago was done. Rendezvous With Baldwin. "We had arranged a rendezvous with Captain Baldwin at Cape Flora on August 4. Wo were there, but he did not reach Franz Josef Land until August IS.

On the way his ship encountered the ice fields, which closed i in on her. She was In the ice for ten days. "But just to show you the good luck which has attended the whole enterprise, it i was probably the fact, that she was frozen in which saved her from serious damage and perhaps destruction. During the ten days sue was frozen in there were the most terrific storms which could not have failed tn do her Irreparable damage had she been In the open. As II was sno cscapea ironi uie.

MANHATTAN FUSION TICKET. Jacob A. Cantor Selected to Bun for the Presidency of That Borough. Willis L. Ogden, chairman of the fusion Committee of Eighteen, said to day that there will be no stampede for Coler in the Citizens' Union convention to morrow.

He said that the convention would be harmonious and that the threatened break would not occur. "There is no truth in all this talk of a stampede for Controller Coler," said Mr. Ogden. "There is entire harmony now, and in two or three days the concord among the fusion forces will be all the more perfect. "The convention to morrow will be ruled by harciony and there will be no attempt to carry it 'or Coler.

Tiie fusionists are sticking together and will stand together for Seth Low all the way through." Mr. Oiiden said that Mr. Low was bus all day yesterday receiving callers who wanted to talk with him or. the political situation. Charles V.

Forties will be the fusion can didate for president of the Board of Aldermen, according to Cob ncl Ogden. The committee of will meet in conference this afternoon and fully determine whose r.ame will be put up, but the selection of Mr. already regarded as a certainty. "We will have a conference to day," said Mr. O'gden, "but we have all about agreed upon "Tharles Forties for president of the Aldermanic Board." Mr.

Forr.cs was president the Catholic Club and has been interested in several re fcim movements. He ran for Congress on tae Democratic ticket several years ago and was defeated. He is a woolen merchant with an extensive business. It is believed by the fusionists that his name on the ticket will draw many Catholic votes from Tammany. R.

Fulton Cutting to day vehemently denied the story that the leaders of the Citizens' Union will bolt and nominate Seth Low any way if the convention to morrow is stampeded for Coler. He said that there Is not a word of truth in the story and his statement was evidently intended to indicate that the leaders of the Citizens' Union will stand by the action of the convention, no matter what that may be. The leaders of the Citizens' Union are nearly all Low men, but Controller Coler's friends still assert that the majority of the delegates to the convention will be for Coler and that the Kings County delegation will be solid for Coler. They say that there are five men who will get up in the convention and make speeches calling for Coler's nomi nation and that the result will be Low re Jectioti and Coler's nomination. It was.

soid that the leaders of the union were alarmed and had already prepared a nominating petition and would nominate Low, despite the convention's action. It was this story that Mr. Cutting took pains to deny. If there should be a rupture between the leaders of the union and convention delegates and two nominations should be made, both bearing the name of the Citizens' Union, there will be a lively time. The executive committee claims that the right to the name Citizens' Union is vested in itself and that the convention can have no right to use the name in ease it goes for Coler.

The courts will have to decide this question if It arises. Cantor Heads the Fusion Ticket in Manhattan. The fusionists to day selected their entire county ticket for New York County and chose Jacob A. Cantor to be nominated as president of the Borough of Manhattan. The ticket was selected by the county and borough conferences of the anti Tammany conference committee.

The conference was at the Citizens' Union headquarters, 34 Union square, and lasted for four hours and a half. After the long and somewhat stormy session the following ticket was announced: For president of Manhattan Borough, Jacob A. Cantor. Justices of the Supreme Court Morgan J. O'Brien.

James A. Blanchard. John Proctor Clarke, Samuel Greenbaum. Judge of City Court Samuel Seabury. District Attorney William Travers Jerome.

Sheriff William J. O'Brien. ounty Clerk Thomas L. Hamilton. Register John H.

J. Ronner. Coroners Dr. Gustav Seholer. Dr.

S. Gol denkranz. Dr. Moses J. Jackson and Dr.

Nicholas R. Brown. The conference was badly split over several names and it looked for a while as if a deadlock would occur. The first thing done was to slash the tentative ticket Into omithereens. At one time the only name on whieb the conference could agree was that of Justice William T.

Jerome, for District Attorney. William J. O'Brien was put on the ticket to satisfy the demands of the labor people. The conference had no idea of selecting O'Brien, but while it was In session a committee of seven labor men from the Central Federated Union arrived and sent in for James B. Reynolds of the Citizens' Union.

The committee was somewhat timid and would not go before the entire conference, but P. J. McNulty. who headed it. made it plain to Mr.

Reynolds that the labor men must have representative upon the ticket and that thev preferred that William J. O'Brien, frequently introduced as William J. Bryan, be put on to make the for sheriff. Mr. Reynolds promised to report their demands to fhe ennferance.

The re null was O'Brien's selection. Hugh Bonner, ex firc chief, would have been put up for sheriff but for the fact that section 1,311 of the city charter provides that no one who draws a pension from the city shall hold office.

Adams, a contractor of Buffalo. Many Policemen on Guard. Long before the hour set for the trial the Streets in the vicinity of the City Hall were the objective of many curious persons. They were willing to take chances on being admitted to the court room, even though they knew that there were but one hundred and fifty seats available. The various entrances to the great building, with the exception of that on Franklin street, were closed and guarded.

Policemen were everywhere and rigid discipline was the order of the day. Reserves Held in Readiness. Squads of blue coated men were stationed on every landing and in a double line far outside the nlace of entrance to keep tick the crowds, while in a station not far away were a number of reserves ready to reinforce them should the feelings ot the people become aroused tc the extent, of rioting. Mounted officers paced slowly around every Bide of the structure and no one was allowed to stand on the sidewalk for a moment, so that at no time was the crowd large. No one outside of the building saw the prisoner as he was taken from his cell to the cou.

room. His guardians made use again of the "tunnel of sobs" under the Btreet from the jail to the city hall, and Czolgosz was brought in to the court room only a few "moments before the hour set for the opening of his trial. No Person Admitted Without Pass. No person was admitted to the building without a pass signed by the chief of police, and it was necessary to show this to every policeman, on every landing and in every CTheofflcer at the door of the court room especially vigilant and not only examined the little white paper pans, out scrutinized the bearer critically, hesitating not to ply him with questions before admitting him to the room. The city hall elevator man was even forbidden to stoD at the second floor, where tile court room is located, and every one had to walk up the stairs and before the lines of policemen The interior of the City Hall, as well as the outside of the doorways still bore the somber draperies of mourning and quiet was enforced as befitting the occasion.

Scores of newspaper correspondents and artists were on hand early. The counsel for Czolgosz former Supreme Court Justices Loren Lewis and Robert C. Titus, chosen Dv ihe Bar Associaiion of Erie County, and Carlton E. Ladd, saw him again this morning before the time for the opening of the court, but he had no more to say to them thau at each of the previous times when they have visited him. In view of the meager ness ol the.

opportunity for a defense and the fact that the prisoner refuses absolutely to aid them, it is not improbable that the entire proceedings may be completed within two days. Belief That Active Defense Will Be Dropped Before Long. The mental condition ot the assassin will absolutely be the only defense to be offered," are the words of Judge Titus and there is no little expectancy that they will publicly abandon to day or to morrow the Idea of an Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton of New York City, who examined Czolgosz because he "happened to be in Buffalo," was one of the first of those connected with the case to take a position Inside the inelosure. Dr.

Hamil ton, who was the chief Insanity expert at the trial of Garfield assassin, Guiteau, occu pied a seat at the table reserved for the pros ecution. District Attorney Penney and his assist ant, Frederick Haller, were the next to put in an appearance and were followed by Judges Lewis and Titus, counsel for the prisoner. Both are men of more than middle age, with gray beards and hair. Just behind them came Mrs. Justice White and her daughter, who were given seats within the inelosure.

Formal Opening of Court Announced. At 10 o'clock the formal opening of the court was announced. Justice Truman C. White entered through the center aisle and took his seat upon the bench. The first business of the session had no relation to the case in hand.

It consisted merely of calling the roll of grand jurors for the coming session and they were then excused until October 7. Clerk of Court Martin J. Fisher, after a preliminary "Hear ye, hear ye." by the crier, proceeded with the calling of the jurors summoned for the trial of the Czolgosz case in Part III. Judge White allowed the grand jurors who had previously been called to leave the room if they desired, but only two did so, the others preferring to stay and witness the trial. Only One Trial Juror Asked to Be Excused.

Of the thirty six trial jurors called, only one asked to be excused. He has a saw mill In process of erection which he said must finished at once on account of low water, and he was excused.

Assassin Brought Into Court Boom.

At 10:16 there was a bustle in the corridor and a squad of policemen brought in the prisoner. He was handcuffed to an officer on each side, while in front and behind him walked other uniformed policemen. The prisoner was attired In a new suit of dark gray, a white shirt and a collar and a light blue bow tie. His face was cleanly shaven and his hair combed. He sat down behind his counsel with two officers in plain clothes immediately in his rear.

District Attorney Penney proceeded at once with the reading of the indictment. He spoke to Czolgosz in a low voice, in fact so low that when the prisoner was asked to plead in reply he failed to show that he understood what had been said. Justice White asked him, "What have you to There was a moment's hesitation. Then his lips moved as if to make reply, but before he could do so his junior counsel, Mr. Lewis, arose to speak, not having seen the prisoner's motion.

Justice "White, however, insisted that, czolgosz should speak and the prisoner replied: "I didn't hear what he said." Czolgosz's Plea of "Guilty" Not Allowed to Stand. District Attorney Penney then read the indictment again in a louder voice and to the demand for a reply the prisoner, who was standing at the time, said in a very low voice, "Guilty." This plea was, however, not permitted to stand under the law, and a plea of "not guilty" was at once ordered by the court. Former Justice Titus, junior counsel for the defense, then arose and stated to the court the facts already known as to his connection with the case. He explained that the position of himself and his associates, Judge Lewis and Mr. Ladd, was a peculiar one and prosecution.

Justice wnite. in repiy, pais a inouie the counsel for the defense and said that the priSUJiyi ll uw uui that whatever the outcome it would reflect only credit and honor to themselves. Examining and Swearing In the Jurors. The examination and swearing in of the jurors was then begun, the prisoner standing as each was sworn. The first juror was summoned at 10:26.

His name is Frederick V. Lauer, a plumber. He was examined briefly by the District Attorney and counsel for the defense. No objection was made and Lauer was accepted. Richard J.

Garwood, a street railway foreman, was next summoned. One of the questions put to him by District Attorney was. "Do you believe in the present form of government?" to which Garwood responded "Yes." Judge Lewis asked Garwood if he would acquit a man if it was clearly proven tnat he was insane at the time the murder was committed. Mr. Garwood replied that he would.

After a few more questions from Judge Lewis Garwood was accepted. The third of the panel called to the bar i was Joshua Winner, a farmer, of North Col lins. He was ODjected to by the defense and excused. Henry W. Wendt, a local manufacturer, when called, announced that he had formed no definite opinion on the case.

After yome hesitation the talesman replied, "Well, yes." The questions asked by Mr. Lewis, for the I defense, of nearly all of the Jurors were par I tlcularly directed toward the fact, of whether or not they were present in the Temple of Music at the time of the crime.
