HAD A BAD NIGHT.
Emma Goldman Retired to Her Cell
With Headache.

Chicago. Sept 11-Em1na Goldman,
the anarchist queen" arrested here
yesterday, spent a very uncomfortable
night in the WOman'S annex to the
Harrison street police station. She ate
Il hearty supper last night, but shortly
afterward her head began to ache,
showing the effect Of the strain under
which she had been laboring all day.
Being a trained nurse by profession she
insisted on treating herself. She wrote
a prescription which she handed to
Chief Matron keegan with request
that it be filed. The matrOn, however.
declined to do so without the sanction
of the chief of police, fearing that the
seemingly innocent slip of paper might
call for a poison WhereWith the prisoner
might do herself harm. The matron Of
fered her charge a dose of headache
cure, which she herself used. but Miss
Goldman refused to take it, and spent
a sleepless night in consequence. She
talked nearly the whole night to the
matron, again and again repeating her
wonder that so insignificant a man as
Mckinley should receive such wide
spread attention.
Her words were even more violent
than in the interview she gave out yes
terday," said the matron today. She
did not ask to see a lawyer saying she
was willing to take it for granted that
her friends in the city would see that
she had proper legal assistance"
At $3.50 a. m. Miss Goldman. looking
pale but determined, appeared in JUS
tice Prindivilles court. She was un-
accompanied by any one save Matron
Keegan. She looked around the room
as if expecting TO see some one, but as
there were none of her acquaintances
present. she faced the magistrate As
sistant Prosecutor Owens told the mag
istrat te that Captain Bull of Buffalo had
asked the Chicago police to hold Miss
Goldman as long as possible. pending
the investigation they We're making.
Mr.. Owens asked for a pOstpOnement
of the case until September -, the date
set for the hearing of the other an
archists under arrest here. Miss Gold
man had no attorney. the reliance she
had placed on her friends apparently
having been a mistake. Justice Prin-
diville asked her if she was ready to
proceed. She replied, Yes, 1 am ready"
Then she asked if Lawyer Saltiel or
Lawyer Brown was in the room They
were not. Justice Prindiville said he
would wait a little while to see if either
appeared Whereupon Miss Goldman
was taken back to the annex
When Miss Goldman was again
brought before Justice Prindivile he
asked if she was ready TO proceed with
the hearing.
Il am ready" she replied firmly
Assistant City Prosecutor Owens i'm
mediately spoke up.
The prosecution desires a continu-
ance until the 18th to be set at the same
time as the other cases without bail"
Miss Goldman:
I would like q hearing right away Il
want to see Lawy er Saltiel if he is in
court
The court instructed an officer to as
certain if Mr.. Saltiel was ia the room.
"Or Lawyer Brown" interjected Miss
Goldman.
The court: DO you expect the two
lawyers here2''
Miss Goldman;
4 thought they might be here. It
does not matter if they are not"
The court then decided to go on with
the regular docket and permit time to
ascertain if the two lawyers We're about.
After an hours time Miss Goldman
asked to telephone and see if the law
yers would come and take charge of her
case. She left the room accompanied.
and upon her return told the court that
she learned that the two lawyers were
occupied with the other cases and that
she would therefore take charge Of her
own case herself
Prosecutor owens:
Your honor. I make my motion to
continue the case until the 18th and
that she be held without bail"
What have you got to say, Miss
Goldman
Miss Goldman: Il demand a hearing
and I would like to be put under bail.

Miss Goldman Is charged with conspir-
acy to Kill and said in case the presi-
