ELECTROCUTION FOR CZ0LG0SZ
Coroner' Acceptance nt I'll) Iclnn'
Statement Indicate Course to tic
Pur lied tvlth Anln.
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 14.
No coroner's Inquest was held. The cor
oner simply vlowed the president's, body
this morning nnd Inter gave n certificate
in accordance with the result of tho au
topsy, which declared that death was un
nvoldnblo by any surgical or medical treat
ment and was the direct result of bullet
wounds. Tho wretch who plunged tho
world Into sorrow will thcrcforo pay tho
penalty of his crlmo by death In tho elec
trocution chair. Murder In tho first degrco
will bo tho charge.
The report of tho autopsy hns Again
given rise to a theory hinted nt a day or
two nfter tho president was shot thnt Czol
gosz, In order to Insure tho accomplish
ment of his purpose, poisoned tho bullets
which he fired. The gangrene found In the
path of tho bullet Is thought to bo strong
evidence In this vlow by Dr. Wnsdln, one
of the consulting physicians. Vf. Wasdln
Is considered nn expert of high standing
In the Marine hospltnl service.
Mxitinluittloit to lln SInilr.
A chemical and bacteriological examina
tion of the remaining bullets In the pistol
will, however, confirm or demolish this
theory nnd such nn cxnmlnntlon will un
doubtedly bo mado at onco by tho nuthorl
tles. But whether this theory Is estab
lished or not, It seems probable that the
result of tho autopsy will glvo rlso to a
medical controversy. Tho gangrened con
dition of tho interior wounds, which the
physlclnns thought wero healed, and tho
fact that tho physicians unnounccd posi
tively that tho kidney which tho bullet
toro wns uninjured, were so contrary to
whnt wns expected by the public nfter the
statements of tho physicians during the
progress of the caco that discussion scorns
Inovttnblo. Tho poisoned bullet theory
might, of courso, nccouut for tho sudden
nnd puzzling rovcrsnl of President SIcKln-
ley's condition Just when the pnysicians
lnld such great stress upon his Improved
condition and ghvo sch strong hope of his
recovery. The bullet itself was not found,
although nn hour's senrch was mnde for It.
Tho X-ray apparatus was not nt hand for
tho uso of tho physlclnns nnd the location
of the bullet is unknown.
DInciimr Proneeutloit.
Governor B. B. Odell of Albany had a
long conference tonight with District At
torney Penney of Erie rclntlvo to tho most
expodltlous methods of trying nnu convict
Ing the murderer. Mr. Penney told ths

pared for tho grand Jury nnd would be ptc
sentcd to thnt body on Slonday or Tuesday
of next week. Tho grand Jury would make
a presentation to County Judgo Emery, who
would at onco nsilgn counsel for tho de
fense. Tho main question of discussion be
tween tho governor nnd tho. district at
torney was whether or not tho governor
should appoint nn extraordinary term ot
tho supremo court to try the prisoner In
stead of allowing tho enso to go before r.ny
of the Judgco of thnt department. Sir. Pcn
ney's Idea was that tho govcinor should
uppolnt nn extraordinary term and select
a special Judgo. A list ot ths Judges was
presented to the governor nnd up to quite
n Into hour ho had not yet decided aa to
which course ho would pursue, or, If ho
determined to havo a speolal term, as to
which Judgo ho should designate.
