[untitled]

     Many of the earlier pictures of Czolgosz, it is now seen, were fakes. Some of the daily journals that run illustrations evidently sorted over their cuts, and selecting the one that looked the most brutal and was the most repulsive, ran it with the arch assassin’s name under it. Later pictures are authentic, and they by no means picture a man of brutal lineaments. They show a face of intelligence and even refinement, without a trace of the murderous instinct. This will be something for physiognomists to consider. Czolgosz answers well the description of the “mildest-looking man who ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.”
