Albert III. Verrall, TO whom Miss Cold
man wired her intention of visiting Chica-
go, was taken to the Sheffield-avenue sta
ton to-day and questioned closely. He said
he was a free thinker" and not an An
archist and that he knew Miss Goldman
and that his wife knew her. He was not
arrested.
. Captain COlleran. chief of detectives re-
ceived message from Chief Bull, of Buff
falo, to-day, stating that requisition pa
pers for Miss Goldman would be forwarded
as soon possible. other messages re-
ceived since Friday from St. Louis and
Buffalo were made public by Assistant
Prosecutor Owens. They indicate that the
-polce of St. Louis were on the trail when
Miss Goldman left st. Louis Saturday night
and that she narrowly escaped arrest when
she alighted from the train here Sunday
morning. The police delayed and shad-
owed her to make sure that they were
after the right woman.
Edmund Wolczynski, frightened at a
newspaper story which connected his name
with that of Leon CZolgOcz, to-day gave
himself up to the local police. He said
he had known Czolgocz in Cleveland; that
he knew members of the latters family.
He was recently in Buffalo, but left there
for Chicago before the attack on the Pres
ident was made. In Cleveland he was
editor of Polish paper called the Morn
ing Star, published at SO Fremont street.
He is working as a printer in Chicago, al
though his wife and baby are still in Cleve-
land. Chief ONeill had an hours inter-
view with him this afternoon, and at its
conclusion announced that there seemed
to be no reason for holding the voluntary
prisoner. Wolcynski's descriptions of CZOl-
gOcz agreed with others which have been
disseminated by the Associated Press.
