Would Bury Czolgosz in the Deep Sea
Gov. Odell Asked Not to Permit His Bones to Mingle
with American Soil.
NEBRASKA STUDENTS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.
They Endorse the Sentiment of Chancellor Huntington Expressed in
His
Memorial Address on McKinley.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 8.—Five hundred
students of Wesleyan University, the strongest Methodist college
in the Northwest, have sent to Gov. Odell of New York, a set of
resolutions, together with a letter, suggesting his fulfillment
of their wishes. The resolutions are, in part:
“Resolved, That we, students of Nebraska
Wesleyan University, in chapel assembled, hereby indorse as most
appropriate, the disposal of the assassin’s body as suggested by
Chancellor Huntington in his memorial address for the late President,
namely:
“‘I crave for the assassin of President
McKinley one mark of distinction. He has earned it and I would it
might be awarded him. His bones should never be allowed to mingle
with American soil. When the great sentence shall be executed, as
it should be with swift justice becoming such an unspeakable tragedy,
we could wish the United States Government would take the remains
of the atrocious murderer 100 miles to sea and then, pinioned and
manacled, with his revolver in his belt and a millstone chained
about his neck, sink the corpse a thousand fathoms to the bottom
of the ocean, that thus the anarchist might be warned that he shall
not have so much as a grave in a civilized land.’”
