Aa i ids . OO eee CZOLGOSZ AS HE LOOKS IN COURT Special to the Post-Dispatch, BUFFALO, Sept. 24.—Assassin Leon Frans Czolgosz in court today was not the unkempt being portrayed in the Bertillon photographs, Neither was he the haggard, ragged creature scen in the basement of the Buffalo jail early on the Monday morning after he had shot the Pgesident. Tie murderer's sunken cheeks, the shadows of which strengthened ‘his haggard appearance in jail, were replaced by plump, well-rounded features, (wing to his confinement, his face was pale today and his flesh looked fiabby. His plumpness was the result of the treatment he received so soon as the first animosity of the jail guards toward him was overcome. Colgosz looked anything but a martyr as he entered the courtroom, shackied to offi- cers on either side. For the last ten days when not overburdened by lie_ own reflections the prisoner has done little else than eat or sleep and he has grown tat and contented looking. Wearing a dark gray double-breasted sack coat, a turn-down collar, a clean shirt, trousers that seemed fairly new and shoes that had been lately cleaned, Czolgosz looked as neatly dressed as the average courtroom spec- tator. His face was clean shaven and that added to his neat appearance, In the courtroom light his tawny hair appeared even lighter than it did in the dungeon two weeks ago today. His hair was neatly combed and a little bit curly, just enough to relieve it from a straight appearance, Not once did a smile flit across his lips, nor did the serious expression of his pale features relax in the slightest degree. Nothing of a shame- faced expression was visible in his attitude. lf Czolgosz has felt remorse for having deprived the people of the United States of their President he did not show it. If for a moment he has repented his diabolical deed, he has suc- ceeded in suppressing all evidence of even a shade of a regret. There was nothing stolid in his demeanor, nothing vacant in his stare. He was visibly nervous and embarrassed by his surroundings and the rela- tion he bore to them, but his self-control was such that he did not permit himself to show his embarrassment beyond what was based upon his lack of compehension of exactly what he was required to do. _¢—e o—¢ o--o-— 6-6-0 ©—-—6--&- © -6—- men.
