Identification of Star Criminals Is Interesting Work [excerpt]

     In the case of Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, Supt. Jones and Photographer Whitwell had the subject in the chair at 11 o’clock in the morning and the pictures were sent out on the Empire State Express at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. The necessity in that case was the supplying of the newspapers throughout the East. In discussing the photographing of Czolgosz Supt. Jones said the other day:
     “He was the only subject we ever had who was actually pleased to have his picture taken. He really enjoyed it. He posed just as I told him to and even expressed an interest in having a good likeness. It disgusted me and I spoke to him about it and I might add that it was the only time that I was ever unfavorably impressed by the easiness of taking a criminal’s picture. Czolgosz answered that he had done his duty in assassinating the President and he was not ashamed to have his picture taken in connection with the crime.”
