ASSASSIN IS AT AUBURN.

He Is Taken Under Heavy Guard te Prison. At 3 o’clock Friday morning the doors of the state prison swung open to receive Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin who killed President McKinley. He Is now In a cell from which he will emerge only to die. With the cries of a mob of morbid loungers, who came to the depot, ringing In his ears, Czolgosz was rushed from the train to the prison, the door clanged and the world was lost to him forever. Over the door of the prison was a portrait of McKinley heavily draped In black. Signs of mourning marked the building, grim reminders of the fact that it was in reality the “house of death”— for Leon Czolgosz. As the heavy doors of the prison swung shut, Czolgosz sank limp and gave a faint moan of despair. He had utterly collapsed.
