Czolgosz's brother, Waldek, and his brother-in-law, Frank Bandowski, attended the execution. When Waldek asked the warden for his brother's body, to be taken for proper burial, he was informed that he "would never be able to take it away", and that crowds of people would mob him. Although post-trial Czolgosz and his attorneys were informed of his right to appeal the sentence, they chose not to after Czolgosz declined to appeal. Also, the attorneys knew that there were no grounds for appeal; the trial had been "quick, swift, and fair."
