Miss Emma Goldman Ar
rested and Locked Up.
Tried to Make AnarchiStic
Speech in Market Square.
Pleaded Not Guilty This Morning to
Charge Of ReveliDg.

Emma Goldman was in The News Office
the other day and wanted to know IL
reporter attended the meeting at Olney-
Vile where she had mnde an address. or
course News reporters are everywhere and
one was at the Central police station last
evening and saw Emma as she was de-
posted In a dungeon deep.
The woman Anarchist is not the fero-
cious creature she is pictured To be in the
daily press. On the contrary, sne is a
good looking female and gives no out
ward show of her vermilion propensities.
She is below the average height, with
masculine tone In her voice, and her
health seems TO be good.
As she stood before Judge Cobb in the
police court this morning to answer TO
the charge of reveling, after nights
rest in the police station. she appeared TO
look upon the whole transaction as part
OF her destiny in world Of trouble.
The Judge informed her that sne could
be baiied. pending her trial which was set
down for next Friday morning. Sho had
pleaded not guilty 10 the oharge, and had
told the Judge that she was of the opinion
that friend of hers in the audience OF
the evening before would be her bonds
man.
Everyone in the court room was OF the
u
was the Individual referred TO and when
he arose and addressed the court there
was deep silence. The judge looked as
though the most important moment OF
his life had arrived.
HAD QUESTIONS TO ASK.
The man with tho whiskers looked the
court in the eye, which eye is OF course
no consequence, and then swept the court
room with bis glance. He spoke to this
effect:
Can man compel his help TO work
on n holiday Was Labor day holiday"
Continuing he said II know q man who
runs factory and he compelled man to
work on Labor day. Can he do ity'
The judge took fresh chew of tobacco
and remarked as tho man had done IL he
supposed he had n right to.
The female Anarchist was sitting on n
bench as the decision was made and she
realized that it would be in vain To ask
the Judge To let her of, just this once.
The court waited patiently for Emma's
friend to appear, but he seemed TO be like
the i, tser that never came. During the
iD.eI inn Emma sat calmly contemplatiye
and thought bitterly of the oppression of
the Gar of Russia, the fickleness Of the
Emperor of China, the self possessed ease
OF the Judge and the possibilities OF her
having tn go to Crauston for vacation
until Friday unless someone would show
up who was good for 500 and who would
hack her for that amount until the morn
ing of the trial
Tho world was growing blacker and
blacker every moment and Emma folded
her hands and gave herself up To fate.
CONSENTED TO LEAVE.
The prisoner waited for some ono To
come To her relief. but she waited in
vain. Finally, as 10 was apparent that
there was no alternative but a trip to
Cranstun, Emma was taken before Mavor
McGuinness and Chief of Police Baker.
Sne was informed that III she would leave
the city and stay away, the case against
her would be discontinued. Emma gladly
assonted to this and she was escorted Co
the railroad station where she took
train for other and more oongenial 10.
calities where the police are not so SEN
sitive.
Before her departure the agitator said
she did not think that she bad been
treated quite right I'm this city. she had
never been arrested but once before and
she did not expect Co be held up In this
city, especially In q locality already oc-
cupied by fakirs.
When she arrived at tho bridge she
found the "hammer man. the patent
medicine man. the backing man. the In.
dian cure maD. and a number of other
fakirs, and under the circumstances she
thought she bad right to address the
populace on throbbing topics Of the hour.
Tho fakirs were not disturbed and she
thought she would 90 unscathed. but she
missed her guess. Auyw ay, she was Of tho
opinion that the town was no good.
