GOLDMAN WOMAN FOUND
Famous Anarchist Arrested By
the Chicago Police.
IS ACQUAINTED WITH czoLeosz

Her Arrest Will Help Anarchy, She
says-story of Her Life.
Chicago, Sept. 11.-Emma Goldman,
the Anarchist queen, under whose red
banner Leon CzOlgosz claims he stands,
whose words he claims fired his heart
and his brain to attempt the assassi-
nation of the President, was arrested
here shortly before noon yesterday.
She disclaimed all but the slightest
acquaintance with the Presidents as
saflant; she denied absolutely that sne,
or Anarchists she knew were impli-
Gated in any plot to kill the President. |
She said she believed Czolgosz acted |
entired on his own responsibility and |
that he never claimed to have been |
inspired by her, as he is quoted as
affirming.
The President, she averred with a
yawn, was an insignificant being to her
"a mere human atom whose life or
death were matters of supreme indiffer-
ence to her or to any Anarchist. Cool
gosz's act was foolish, yet she declared
it probably had its inspiration in the
misery which the Pole had seen about
him. Violence, she said, was not
tenet in the faith of the Anarchist and
she had not advocated it in Cleveland
where Czolgosz has said he heard her,
nor elsewhere.
Police officials are not entirely sat
isfied with Miss Goldmans story.
When Captain Schuettler and Detec-
tive Hertz discovered her at the
home of one Norris, at 9O9 Sheffield
avenue, she denied her identity.
Hello, Miss Goldman" said the cap
tain, as he entered the parlor, ARE
you glad to see me?"
Pm not Miss Goldman; I'm a Swed-
ish woman. and my name is Lena Lar
sen" answered the woman, endeavor-
ing to initiate the Swedish dialect.
Cali right; speak Swedish myself"
said the police officer, as he poured
out a few questions in that tongue.
Miss Goldman didn't answer affect
ing to misunderstood. Hertz mean
while had been investigating and had
discovered a pen with the name EN-
ma Goldman" engraved thereon.
What does this mean?" shouted
Captain Schuettler, holding the tell
tale article before it's owners eyes.
1T means that the game is up" she
said.
Miss Goldman arrived mere Sunday
morning from ST. Louis Her immu-
nifty from arrest while in the Missouri
metropolis and up to yesterday in Chi
cago afforded her much amusement.
She told, in sentences punctuated with
laughter of her capture. In her con-
versation with reporters-and she talk
= ed with them at length twice during
the day-the excitement she was labor
ing under was suppressed, and only
5 once did she break down completely
= That was when Captain Schuettler LEI
her from the Office of Chief of Police
e O'Neill to the cab which was waiting
y to convey her to the wOmen's annel
+ at the Harrison street police station
For a moment she became a woman
pure and simple and cried. In a mo
ment however this exhibition of dis
II tress was over and when she put he
L foot on the step to mount into tn
carriage she was again Emma Goiu
Il man, the High Priestess Of Anarchy,
g as she has been styled by her followers
|, Later in the day Miss Goldman wa
n interviewed in the woman's annex z
lie the police station and a stenographi
r report taken. Miss Goldman said:
Il feel sure that the police are hell
= ing us more than l could do in te
years. They are marking more Ana
> chists than the most prominent peop
connected with the Anarchist cau'
Il could make in ten years. If they wi
II only continue I shall be very grateful
a they will save me lots of work"
Asked if she had been on the dow
as town streets before her arrest, 81
n answered: Certainly I have. ha,
I'll been shopping-went to Fields, ha-
er been in restaurants; in fact, l pass
D, the city hall several times.
r "'rhe police knew positively that
N was coming" she continued, "becau
wrote on Friday from St. Louis, ho
to Mr. Havel and to Mr.. Norris tn
u l would come on Sunday if l g
OF through with my business on SAT-
p. day, and if so I would telegraph the
k the hour of my arrival. l also So
that if I did not come on Sunday
ut would surely come on Monday
Tuesday. These letters they MI
an have seen at SIS Carroll avenue"
N What do you think of your own
~ rest?" she was asked.
'ul IF I told you" she replied,
would look somewhat conceited, a
gh l certainly would not like to be gui
II Of that. Not only my arrest, but
I'D others, smack of the Haymarket. 7
bv police are very much in disrepute
)e- over the country, and they wish to
~ something to clear themselves. TT
n are trying to make it an Anarchist p
- SO If they wish to make up a CT
40 they may succeed"
IN What man in the United States,
at your opinion, is of sufficient pro.
nence to warrant such a plot?" s
zen was asked
av, Il am not in position to say" repl

If Imperialism would not grow in t
aP- country, if the liberties Of the PEG
'On were not trampled under foot, tn
the would have been no violence"
Asked if she thought Czolgosz's
la was praiseworthy from her point
rC view, she answered: Il am not il
- position to say whether it was g
- or bad. It is bad for the man v
attempted to do it. I am not in

ty- don't see is why they should mi
