     Before sentence of death was passed upon Leon Czolgosz at Buffalo, Sept. 26, his record was taken by District Attorney Penney. It is as follows:

     Age裕wenty-eight years. Nativity優etroit. Residence唯roadway, Nowaks, Buffalo. Occupation有aborer. Married or single祐ingle. Degree of Education佑ommon school and parochial. Religious instruction佑atholic. Parents, living or dead友ather living, mother dead. Temperate or intemperate裕emperate. Former conviction of crime湧one.

     The above will destroy much of the consolation some of the orthodox clergy were getting out of the idea that Czolgosz was an infidel. The fact is all three Presidents who have been assassinated have met their death at the hands of a Christian believer.
