Continued from First Pageo

unfortunates who has been driven to des- peration and misery to commit the crime. I feel very deeply with him as an indi- yidual, as would feel with anybody who suffers. If l had means l would heln him as much as I could: I would see that he had counsel and that justice was done him."
 Althoush the whole world waited ea- seray Friday afternoon for the bulletins from the Presidents bedside, Miss Gold man did not care enough about the re- nort that he had been shot which shs heard newsboys shouting to buy paper. It was Saturday noon before her inter- est was aroused to cause her to buy newspaper containing the story,
 She was more interested in the arrest of the Chicago anarchists than In the Presi- dents condition.
 When asked why she did not appear be- fore the police when she learned that she was wanted Miss Goldman said:
 "For reasons of my own did not make myself known. like to fool the police when I can. The very fact that I came to Chicago shows that had no intention of hiding myself. If had wanted to I would have been able to go from St. Louis right across to Canada, and then they would have looked for me a long time. I came here to be on the spot when l saw the necessity of announcing myself to the police and also to help MT. Isaaks and his family. they being among the an- archists arrested. If the police were able to connect me with the attack on the President I was ready to give myself Up. When I arrived in Chicago I went to a hotel and registered under an assumed name. Later I went to the home of MT. c. P. Norris, whom I have known In a business way for about a year. As far as I know he Is not an anarchist, but he saw no reason why one individual should not give shelter to another in this land of the free, and he did it." Asked if she thought Czolgosz' act was praiseworthy from her point of view. she answered.:
 T am not in a position to say whether it was good or bad, It is bad for the man who attempted to do 1t. I am not in his boots and know nothing about 1t. What I don't see, is why they should make more fuss about the President than any | body else. All men are born equal"
 But some men arise above the equality of birth," a reporter suggested
 We are all interested In the man whom we have made our chief"
 ''I don't think that men put him In of- flee; think that money put him in of- fiice."
 In reference to Czolgosz' alleged state ment that he was inspired by a lecture of Miss Goldman's in Cleveland, the pris- oner said:
 As I have repeatedly said, 1t Is fooi- ish to think that this man would claim that he did that deed alone and unalded and at the same time claim that I In l spired him. If he had accompices and still claims that he was acting alone, do you think he would have singled me out as the only friend he would not protect by assuming entire responsibility He may have heard me in Cleveland, for lec- tured there twice May 6 last
