FEELING At PATERSON.

SepOrf That WOuld-Be Assassin Is one
of the Chicago Anarchists
NEW YORK, September 7.-As a whole
the anarchist group of Paterson. N. j., ex-
press no regret at the shooting of Presi-
dent Mckinley On the contrary, there
was great gathering of the members last
night at Bartholdi Hall in that city. and
Neiman, who shot the President. was toast
ed in beer time and time again.
All of the talkative members of the
group say Neiman is unknown to them.
One of them said:
I'VE do not know him, but he is one of
US. He did what it was his duty to do and
We hCnOr him, while personally thinking
his effort might better have been employed
across the ocean upon some crowned head.
They all deny there is any truth to the
report that at any time President Mckin-
ley was included in the plots to assassinate
the heads of nations. They claim that
President MCkinley'S life was never de-
Clared forfeited by them and that the work
of yesterday is that of another branch of
their organization.
Petro Esteve who in the past has gloried
in each killing of a head of a nation or
in any attempt, was very loud last night
in his denals of any participation by the
Paterson group in the affair at Buffalo yes
terday afternoon. Esteve even goes so far
as to deny that Neiman IS an anarchist.
81 never heard Of him. Esteve said He
Is probably some German lunatic and
fool
The first question asked in Paterson
when news of the shooting of the Presi-
dent was received was whether or not the
assailant was from that city. The feel
ing among the citizens outside Of anarchist
circles is one Of the deepest indignation.
this being heightened by the fact that the
plot to slay King Humbert was Matched
there.
There was much talk there last night of
attempting to devise means to drive the
anarchists out of that city.
