At 7:12 o'clock, Leon Czolgosz, murderer of President William McKlnley, paid the cxtromo penalty enacted by tho law for his crlmo. Ho wns shocked to dca,h by 1,700 volts of electricity. Ho wont to tho chair in exactly tho Bamo man ner ns hnvo tho majority of murderers in this Btate, showing no particular signs of fenr, but in fact doing what fow of them havo done talking to tho witnesses whllo ho waa being strapped in tho chair. "I killed tho president because he was nn enemy of tho good pooplo of tho good working people. I am not lorry for my crime." These wero his words as tho guards hurried him Into tho chair. A moment later, mumbling through Uio half-adjusted fact atrapa, ho Bald: "I am awfully sorry I could not see my father." Czolgosz slept soundly all night Warden Mead gnvo tho Blgnal to havo tho prisoner brought in nnd at 7:11 o'clock Chief Keeper, Tuppcr ewung tho big Btccl doors leading to tho condemned cells, and ns tho steel bars behind which Czolgosz had been kept wero swung asldo two guards marched tho prisoner out Into tho cor ridor, two others following and tho chief keeper walking in front. Tho guards on either oido of Czol gosz had hold of his arms aa if cither to support him or to keep him from making a demonstration. As ho stepped ov.er tho threshold he stum bled, but they held him up and aa they urged him forward toward tho chair ho stumbled again on tho Httlo rub ber-covered plntform upon which tho chair rests. His head was erect and with his gray flannel shirt turned back at tho neck he looked quite boyish. Ho was intensely palo and as ho tried to throw his head back and carry him self erect hla chin quivered very per ceptibly. As ho was being seated he looked about at the assembled wit nesses with qul'to a steady stare and said: "I killed tho president because he was an enemy of tho good people tho working people." His volco trembled slightly at first but gained strength with each word. And ho spoko perfect English. I am not sorry for my crime." ho said, Just aa the guard pushed his head back on tho rubber head rest and drew tho strap across his forehead and chin. As tho pressure on the straps tightened and bound the Jaws tightly, ho mumbled: "I am awfully, sorry I could not see my father." It was Just exactly 7:11 when ho crossed tho threshold, but a mln uto had elapsed nnd ho had Just fin ished his last statoment when tho strapping wns completed and tho guards stopped back. Warden Mead raised hla hand, and, at 7:12:30, Elec trician Davis turned tho switch that threw 1,700 volts of electricity into tho living body. Tho rush of tho current threw the body eo hard against tho straps that they creaked perceptibly. Tho hands clinched suddenly and tho wholo at-' tltudo was ono of oxtremo tenseness. For forty-five seconds tho full current was kept on, and then. Blowly tho electrician threw tho switch back, re ducing tho current volt by volt, until It was cut off entirely. Then, Just as It has reached that point, ho throw tho lever back again for two or threo seconds. The body, which had col lapsed as tho current waa reduced, stiffoned up ngaln against tho Btraps.

From tho time Czolgosz had left his cell until tho full ponnlty was paid loss Uian four minutes had elapsed. Tho physicians present used the stetho scope and other tests to determine If any life remained, and at 7:17 tho warden, raising his hand, announced: "Gentlemen, tho prisoner is dead."
