picious actions after the shooting of the
president, was taken to Chief O'Neill' $
! office and subjected to a rigid examina-
ton for an hour. He admitted that a
meeting was held at Mrs. Lang's house
in Buffalo on Sept and that he attend
ed it. He said, however, that it was
not meeting for the laying of a plot
but a social gathering of friends. The
police doubt this They cite the way IN
which DR.. Sayline suddenly left Buffalo
cstensibly for Denver on thes evening
the president was shot In fact, the
Chicago police are now convinced that
there was a plot to assassinate the pres
ident.
As soon as DR.. Sayline admitted his
presence at the melting in Buffalo, war
rants were sworn out before justice
Prindiville for his arrest.
He was confined in the Harrison street.
station, and no one was allowed to see
him on any preteXt.
Emma Goldman when asked about the
meeting in Buffalo onsSept 2, said that il
had no significance. that Dr. Saylne was
one of her friends and had been very at
tentive during her sojourn at Buffalo.
DR.. Sayline admitted that he had been
attentive to Miss Goldman in Buffalo;
that he had been with her a. great deal
and that he had paid her expansasa Tstilo
she was there. He took her to Niagara
Falls as a special favor
When the news reached Chicago that
President Mckinley was rapidly sinking
and that death was close at hand, Chief
O'Neill at once busted himself with the
task of stopping any possible demonstra-
ton by a mob. The greatest fear was
for Emma Goldman, who, Czolgosz says,
inStigated his crime. Inspector Hartnett
and Captain Mahoney at the Harrison
street police station were caleId up by
the chief and ordered to take all possible
precautions.
Do not. allow any gatherings about the
annex said the chief. "See that no one
is permitted to see DR.. Sayline and noti-
fs me at once. if there is any trouble =
Captain Mahoney at once detailed a
dozen policemen to stand guard around
the annex where Emma Goldman is con-
fined. Detectives We're also assigned to
the Jail by Captain Colleran, and an ex-
ira force of deputy sheriffs were sworn
in to help guard the nine prisoners there.
Precautions on the part of the sheriff
began this morning when the habeas cor
pas proceedings opened Twenty deputy
sheriffs were placed in the court room
and curious people were barred from
Judge Chetlain's tribunal.
Al this was done on the strength of
the bulletins from Buffalo which said
that the condition of the president was
critical Tonight when the rumors OF
the presidents death reached Chicago re-
E2Wed precautions were taken
Chief O'Neill at once sent out an order
to all police inspectors ordering them to
keep a force of men in reserve in antic>
iEation of trouble. The guard around
the Harrison street annex was doubled
and all crowds in the vicinity of prison
ers were dispersed
I'VE cannot tolerate any crowds now
said the chief. Il call them crowds, for
the persons who gather for such seeming.
ly jUStifiable purposes would not Ike the
word mob l do not expect serious trou-
bic because the citizens of Chicago are
too level-headed and possessed of too
great 4 sense of law and Justice
Emma Goldman, while stoutly denying
that she had anything to do with the
death of President Mckinley, says tha;
she would have made no effort to save
him from the hands of his assassin if
she had been conversant with Czolgosz's
plan to shoot him.
IF | had heard Czolgosz say he was
going to shoot Mr. Mckinley l would
not have reported the information to the
police. / hate the spying police, and L
don't believe in interfering with what
any man thinks he has a right to do
Why should l makeeit my business to put
man in the hands of the police when
they already secure thousands of inno-
cent persons every day and condemn
them to Imprisonment and death? No,
if man thinks he is called on to kill
a man because he beneves him a tyrant
you may be sure that | will not 'squeal
on him to the police
A bulky message for Miss Goldman
containing sheet after sheet of paper
printed or written in blue pencil was re-
cived by Capt. Mahoney, of the Harrison
street police station, and by him opened
by mistake. 1t came from Citizen
George Francis Train and contained ex-
pressions of sympathy and admiration
for the ''chere citcoyenne"
