Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 29.--AL 7.12
o'clock this morning Leon (Izolgosz,
murderer of Pi esident MnhKinl ey,
paid the extreme penalty exacted by
the law for his crime. He was
shocked to death l-y 1,700 volts of
electricity. He went to the chair in
exactly the same manner in which
have the majority of murderers in
this State, showing no particular
sign of fear, but in fact, doing what
few of themn have done-talking to
the witnesses while lie was being
strapped in the chair.
Czolgosz retired1 last night at 10
o'clock and slept so soundly that
when Warden Mead went to the cell
shortly before 5 o'clock this morning
tse guard inside bad to shake Czol
sto awaken him. He sat up ori
the "dge of his cot and made(1 no re

The pri on official took from his
- pocket the d2jTJ" Jrrant and read it
slowly and distinctly to m aOssassHin
who hardly raised his eyes > him1
during the perfunctory ceremony.
Just as the warden stepped away
from the cell (door, Czvlgosz clalled1 to
him and said:
"I would like to talk with the su
perintendent."
The warden responded:
"He will b)e down presently."
Then the condemned man rolled
over on his cot apparently anxious to
sleep again.
At 5.15 the guard bronght to him
a pair of dark trousers with the left
leg slit so as to allow the free appli
Scation of the electrode, and a light
gray outing shirt. He was told to
get up and put these on, which he
did.
