NO POISON FOUND IN REVOLVER
Physicians Who Examine Czolgosz 8y
Ho Is Not Insane The Aseusln Is Not
to Ho Defended Along the Line of an
Unsound Mind
BUFFALO Sept 23 The most im
portant development in the Czolgosz
case yesterday was the announcement
that no poison had been found on the
bullets or on the revolver with which
the anarchist assassinated the presi
dent Chemical and bacteriological
examinations were made and both
showed that no poison was used An
other examination to determine the
mental condition of the prisoner was
made in the Erie county jail by Dr
Carlos F McDonald of New York who
was brought here by the Erie County
Bar association and Dr W F Hurd
superintendent of the Buffalo State
hospital The alienists were with the
assassin for one hour and a half and
when they left both declined to dis
cuss the case
District Attorney Penney and his
entire staff spent all of Sunday at the
city hall preparing for the trial of
Czolgosz which will begin before Jus
tice White in part III of the supreme
court this morning
Mr Penney had conferences with
tho alienists and with City Chemist
Herbert M Hill who submitted his re
port upon an examination of the bul
lets and revolver
Immediately after the death of the
president one of the staff of physi
cians in attendance on the president
oxpressed the opinion that the bullets
may have been poisoned District At
torney Penney who had possession of
the assassins revolver ordered care
ful and thorough examinations made
Dr Hill was directed to make a chem
ical examination of the bullets and
the chambers and barrel of the revol
ver and Dr Herman G Matzinger
one of the surgeons who performed
the autopsy upon the presidents body
was ordered to make a bacteriological
examination This afternoon Dr Hill
reported to the district attorney that
his work showed that no poison had
been used
He also presented a written report
but it will not be used on the trial as
that question is now eliminated from
the case Dr Matzinger has finished
his bacteriological examination and
his work also revealed the absence of
any poison The district attorney has
been informed to that effect although
tue formal report has not been sub
mitted Authoritips on this question
state that the two examinations form
a complete test and that the slighest
trace of poison would have been re
vealed
Dr McDonald and Dr Heard alien
ists for the defense called upon Dis
trict Attorney Penney shortly before
3 oclock this afternoon and remained
with him until 315 when they were
escorted to the jail by Detective Solo
mon The insanity experts went into
Czolgoszs cell in murderers row and
were locked up with him until 405
oclock when they returned to the
city hall and held another conference
with the district attorney Fifteen
minutes later Dr James W Putnam
a local alienist appeared and joined
the conference Although great se
crecy was maintained at the district
attorneys office it was learned that
Dr Allen McLane Hamilton one of
the most able alienists in the United
States and who was an expert wit
ness in the Guiteau case was in Buf
falo
Not a doubt of Czolgoszs sanity ex
ists in the mind of District Attorney
Penney so that it is presumed that
Dr Hamilton is here merely to meet
the question of insanity should the
defense be determined to make a fight
on that ground Although uie defense
declines to make any definite state
ment on the subject pending the final
opinion of Dr McDonald it is the
consensus of opinion among those in
terested in the case that no insanity
plea will be interposed by Judges
Lewis and Titus The district
ney is already fortified wit lithe opin
ion of Dr Joseph Fowler Dr James
W Putnam and Dr Floyd Grego Buf
falo alienists of some note that Czol
gosz is perfectly sane

GROCERS GET TOGETHER

- The next meeting place will be at
Lincoln during September 1902 tho
exact date to be fixed by the executive
committee that will be named by the
president at a later date
Exemptions were handled in an ex
haustive manner and the position
was taken that the deadbeat should be
helped to become honest by the pass
age of laws making it possible to col
lect pay for goods sold Hundreds of
men aided by the present collection
laws the grocers claimed are enabled
to cheat and defraud their grocers
and there is no recourse
The speaker held that the present
exemption laws are unfair to the
single man as they permit the taking
of even his clothing if it can be found
off his back while his more fortunate
associate who is married can run bills
and there is no way of reaching him
