Family Indifferent

Cleveland, [?].—The members of the family of
[?] Czolgosz, who are in this city show [?] [?]ittle concern over the fate of
their son and brother as if he bore no relation whatever to them. The seeming
indifference is remarkable. The father of the assassin was down town tonight
in conference with Chief of Police Conner and later it was learned that he had
relinquished all claims to the body of his son. That the elder Czolgosz has
become entirely indifferent as to the fate of his son or else does not realize
the terrible penalty that he must undergo, is very evident. An incident that
happened while on his way to his home in the Polish district this evening is
of interest.
A little newsboy hopped onto the car and cried
out the evening paper’s featuring [sic], as an incident to buy, the electrocuting
of Leon F. Czolgosz in Auburn prison tomorrow. He spoke directly to the old
man, but if he understood he showed not the least consciousness that the matter
in any way concerned him. He simply stared into space and it is only fair to
asume [sic] that the words of the newsboy were not understood, Czolgosz
not being very familiar with the English language, grasping the most ordinary
words only after much difficulty.
When he arrived at his home the family had gone
to bed and had to be aroused that the father might be admitted.
No word other than a telegram asking for $35 was
received by the family today from the brother, Waldeck, and his brother-in-law,
Bandowski, who are in Auburn and the statement was made that these two men would
probably leave Auburn for Cleveland Wednesday or Thursday.
The assassin’s father, a younger brother and perhaps
two of his isters [sic] will be in the Cleveland office of the Associated Press
tomorrow morning and will there learn of the carrying out of the law.
