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 [sic] 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.’”
