district attorney t lien suggested that,
inasmuch as the defendant refused to
answer, counsel should be. assigned.
Judge Emery nssigned 1 Ion. I.ornin U
Lewis and Hon. Robert 1'. Titus, for
merly supreme court justices of this

by the Erie bar association.
The secret indictment was presented
to Judge Emery in tlie county court.
Then ensued a wnl,!. of an hour, but
Ihu rumor that the murderer was to be
arrainged-spivad, mid in a short time
tlie. court room was crowded. Great
secrecy was maintained as to the place
of confinement of the prisoner, but it
is believed he was locked up in the
temporary jail at the Erie county pen
itentiary, where prisoners have been
kept while the Jail has been undergo
ing repairs. After the indictment was
reported the prisoner was driven from
tlie penitentiary, a mile from the city
hall, to the jail across the stnvt from
tlie hall. C.olgosz was then taken,
under srrong guard, from the. jail
through the tunnel under Delaware
avenue to the basement of" the cjty hall

the second floor.
The prisoner was shackled to a de
tective, nnd another detective held hih

number of patrolmen behind. When
the prisoner was taken before the
bench the crowd in tlie court room

C.olgos. is of medium height, of

not stupidity, and his glance r.iaiucd
about, but his eyes were always dow u
cast. Not once did he loi! llu county

Judge Emery assigned Eorain E.
Davis mid Hubert C. Titus as counsel,
after which the prisoner was lead

of the police, but lost her life with Mr.
Van Djr Iljrir by the over turning of a
