JUSTICE QUICKLY DONE

In Les Than Et?ht Hours and a Half

the Trial of the Assassin Is Completed.

Dramatic Scene In the Court Room at

Buffalo While waitiii? a Verdict.

Buffalo, Sept. 25. Leon F. Czolgosz. alias Fred Xieman, was found guilty of murdvr in the first decree by a Jury In I'art III of the supreme court, la having, ou the Cth day of September, nhot President William McKiuley. the wounds inflicted afterward resultIns lu the death of the president. The wheels of justice moved swiftly. The trial of the assassin consumed eight hours and 20 minutes and covered a period of only two days. Practically all of this time was occupied by the prosecution in presenting a Case so clear, so conclusive, that even Lad the prisoner entered the plea of Insanity, it is doubtful If the jury would have returned a verdict different from the one rendered. The announcement made yesterday afternoon by the attorneys for Czolgosz that the eminent alienists guminoued by the Erie County Bar association and by the district attorney to examine Czolsosz and to determine his exact mental condition had declared Lim to be perfectly sane, dcstroj'ed the uly stage of a defense that Judges Lewis and Titus could have put together. Kefore adjournment Justice White Announced that he would pronounce etnteuce upon the defendant on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The prisoner was taken at once through the tunnel, under Delaware avenue, back to the Jail. To all appearances he was In no way affected by the result of the trial. The crowd gathered at city hall yesterday was the largest which has eeeu hiia since his arraignment. People were lined up ou both sides of the liig rotunda ou the second floor, where court convened, and f.nged the stairs leading from the floor above. At 2:44 yesterday afternoon District Attorney Penney abruptly announced that th case of the prosecution was ended. Judge Lewis arose slowly and. addressiui: the court, said that the sudden close of the case against Czolgosz was a surprise to him and his Colleague. They had no witness to call for the defense. lie asked the court that he be allowed to address the Jury at once. The court asseuted and the venerable jurist legnn an address that will long be remembered by those who heard it. Judge Titus sajd that Judge Lewis had so completely covered the ground that it seemed entirely unnecessary for him to reiterate it, and he would therefore rest. At 31 District Attorney Penney legan Humming up. At the conclusion j of his plea Justice White delivered his charge to the jurj-. . After the jury had retired to consider the evidence the scene in the courtroom became dramatic in the extreme. Decorum was somewhat foreotten and the spectators stood up and many talked about the room and outraged in conversation. The guard. aliout the assassin, who still sat in his seat before the tteiioh. were doubled. Chief of Detectives Cusac anil two of his I men taking positions just back of Czol j gosz's chair. Others took seats to the i left and risht, and many "plain j clothes" men were seen minding anions the crowd surging about tie room, closely watching everyone whose face was nt a familiar one to them There was no disjosirion to crowd about the prisoner, although the object i of everyone seemed to be to get in a position to have a full view of his face. Czolgosz had leen seated in his j

chair all afternoon, his hands clasped on the arms of the chair and his bead tent forward and a little to the left. The room was not warm, but he frequently took his handkerchief from bis pocket and mopped the perspiration from his forehead and cheeks. At no time during- the absence of the jury did he raise his eyes or lift his head r seem to know that he was the object of Interest of several hundred men and women. Every time the door was opened all eyes were turned in that direction, tne evident thousht in every

blind being that the jury would take : enly a few minutes to agree ou a ver- i diet. It was 4 :,." when the crier ; rapped for order and the jury filed , Into the room. The clerk read their ; names, each juror responding "Pres- i cnt" as his name was called. Xo time was wasted. The jurors did cot sit ' down. Addressiug them. Justice White ' said: "Gentlemen, have you agreed , Upon a verdict?" "We have," responded Foreman Wendt. j What is your verdict?" t "That the defendant is guilty of mur- j der in the first degree." j There was a moment of silence, and then a murmur arose from the lips of the crowd. It ended there. There was j Bo handclappicg: no cheers. Justice ! White's voice could be clearly heard In every part of the room when he j thanked the jurors for their work and : 'lowed thera to go.

The Transvuairr ill .Not Journ- T ff aetiiiitoti. The Hague. Sept. 2"i. It is learned that the announcement made in tue Poir of Brussels that Mr. Kruger has decided to scud a sieial mission to President Itoosovelt is not correct. It aplears that suU a project had leeu la contemplation; but the idea is not likely to Ik- carried out owing to the great expense incidental to it and to the difficulty of securing a suitable representative. The expenses incurred since Mr Kruger came to Europe have reduced the Transvaal funds to a small sum. In fact, some of the lioers here are even destitute, and all of them agree that Mr. Kruger has scarcely enough for himself. It is not l-lievetl that he could go to Washiagtr-n, as iince the death of Mrs. Kruger he has not lieen the vigorous man of quick decision which he was formerly. The course probably to lie adopted will le that Montague White will te instructed to approach the United States government, and Mr. Kruger and the others will take no action jending the result of Mr. White's endeavor.
