FEARLESS AND DEFIANT
Female Anarchist Has No Word of Regret For the
Fate of the President
Would Not Have Raised Her Hand Stay the Bullet of
CzOgosz

Chicago, Sept. 14-Emnna Goldman
sat this morning in a comforta BILE room
m the ssaman's annex Of the Harrison
street poiice station. She was cynical
and defiant She remained where she
has been confined since her arrest, and
still has the liberty of the matron's
Office.
Do you feel no sorrow today?'' she
was asked
no, she exclaimed. in a harsh voice
you read the account of how A
crowd OF people gathered in the street
prayed and sang hymns when they
heard the news-have you no feeling for
their sOrrOW2" was asked.
They we're ignorant, deceived. - she
snapped out the words and struck the
paper in which she read the account,
with clenched fist II see no reaso1
for reEretting McKinley's death"
While stoutly denying that she had
anything TO do with the death of Pres
ident Mckinley, the woman saws that
she would have made no effort 20 save
MIN from the hands of his assassin II
she had been conversant With Cool
gosz's plan to shoot him.
IL L had heard CzOlgOsz say that ne
was going to shoot Mr.. Mckinley. I
ton to the police. I hate The SOWING
police. and I don't believe in interior
ing with what any man thinks he has a
right To do. Why should / make il my
the police when they already secure
thousands of innocent persons every
day and condemn them to imPrison-
ment and death? No: If a man thinks
M. is called on To kill a man because
he believes him a tyrant. you may be
sure that I viii not 'sque al on him to
the police.
Started to Lynch the Woman.
Early this morning crowd number
1ng about leo men started for the an
mex, loudly threatening TO lynch Miss
Goldman. They had waited in front OF
the bulletin board till all hope was
gone, and then started out to execute
vengeance After proceeding a few
blocks however. cooler heads in the
crowd succeeded in checking the ex-
element and somewhat later the crowd
sulleniy dispersed.
No disturbance was reported by the
officials at the county jail where the
local anarchists are locked up. 1t was
the belief this morning that the presi-
dents death would make it extremely
unlikely that the court would admit
them TO bail Chief OF Police O'Neill is
quoted as saying that Il would be muir
der to take them on the streets with
the citizens. in their present grim tenn
per. The night was fairly quiet and
the extra police were not called upon
TO protect the anarchists from the at
tack which had been feared.
This settles it," said Chief of Police
CNeill. hen informed of the presi-
dent s death. I'VE viii hold every an
archist prisoner we have No Judge
will release them. and we viii keep
them as long as we choose. We have
no evidence of q conspi -acy now. but
It's details must be ferreted out and if
We find one we " III not be compelled to
hunt fOI any OF the prisoners we have
noN and who might have been released
tomorrow.
Then. too it is the best thing for
them TO remain where they are, for
time at least. What would Emma Gold
mans life be worth on the streets?
She would not live two minutes.
