Brother Talks of Czolgosz
Mike Declares Leon Ought to Be Strung Up for Attempting to Kill the President.
Akron, O., Sept. 10.—[Special.]—“He ought to
be strung up.”
That is the manner in which Mike Czolgosz, brother
of Leon Czolgosz, the would-be murderer of President McKinley, spoke today regarding
his brother.
Mike Czolgosz’s presence at Barberton was discovered
today. He secured employment there three weeks ago, but his name was put down
as Mike Zolden. Czolgosz evidently did not care how his name was corrupted,
and it was only by chance that his real name was discovered.
Mike Czolgosz did not care to talk much regarding
his brother, and claimed to know nothing regarding the anarchistic sentiments
held by Leon. He admitted, however, that he himself had been a Socialist, but
asserted that he had repudiated the doctrines of that sect.
“I do not believe Leon shot the President because
of any affiliation with Anarchists,” he said. “He must have been paid by some
one to commit the deed.”
