Descriptive text accompanying the illustration reads as follows: “The
name of Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of President McKinley, is best pronounced
by the uninitiated by recollecting how the Russian always introduces a
‘t’ into the pronunciation of the name of the czar. Thus the Russian says
‘t-zar.’ In the case of Czolgosz one should say ‘Tschal-gotch,’ with the
‘l’ faintly sounded and the second ‘t’ quite full. The average American,
however, will get it as ‘Shawl-gotch,’ and that is about as correct as
he can make it. The assassin has lived in Detroit, other parts of Michigan,
Cleveland and Cincinnati, and been in Chicago quite recently. He is without
particular education, except in anarchistic doctrines. The picture given
is the one ordered taken by Chief of Police Bull, of Buffalo, and Secretary
of War Root.”
