Claims to Have influential Friends
Unknown to Police.
HER CHEEFUL DEMEANOR


Prindiville today decided to allow Emma
Goldman, the anarchist, her freedom until
the case comes up for hearing, under bonds
Of $4,000. Her attorneys said they had Sc
cured $4,000. and Immediately left the
court room to seek the additional money
necessary. Meanwhile Miss Goldman was
led back to the woman's annex at the Har-
rison street station. She was much dis
appointed at the amount of the bond re-
quired.
Il guess they thought they would make
the bond SO big couldn't furnish it, she
said But have friends the police know
nothing about. and I'll be out Of here by
night
The hearing of Miss Goldman's case on
the charge of conspiracy to murder Presi-
dent Mckinley" was set for tomorrow. Her
counsel, however, learning that there would
be no session of the courts tomorrow be-
cause of the Presidents funeral, decided
at conference this morning. to take the
matter of bail before the ma giStrate today.
The matter of Miss Goldman's guilt or in
nocence of the charge against her was not
mentioned, as Justice Prindiville has de-
cided to follow the example of Judge Chet-
lain, who has the cases of the other an
archiSts before him.
The Woman Cheerful.
when she was brought into court by Chief
Matron Keegan, and chatted vivaciously
with her attorneys. She wore the blue
walking skirt and dark jacket which have
become familiar at the station.
Mr. Geeting for Miss Goldman, addressed
the court first. He said that while the
defense was willing to allow the police
every opportunity to secure evidence
against Miss Goldman, as well as the other
anarchists. he said he was confident that
Miss Goldman was entitled under the law
to freedom under bonds.
II can assure this court, said the law
yer, that my client, if under no bonds at
all other than her word, would appear be-
fore this court whenever desired.
John E. Owens, representing the city
prosecutor, made no objection to bail being
allowed, but pleaded that in view of the
Importance of the case, and the national
interest in it, that the bond be made as
Illinois statutes.
Justice Prindiville. in admitting the pris-
oner to bail. said
II think this woman is entitled to bail
under the law governing such cases. The
matter. however, is one of such import
ance that the court feels the necessity Of
exercising the greatest discretion, and
will therefore be compelled to make the
bond a heavy one-$2O 600"
Police Are Sorry.
When told that bail had been allowed
Miss Goldman, Chief of Police O'Neill said:
I'm sorry to hear it,. We will need all
our men tomorrow to guard the line of
march of the parade, and now I suppose
we will have to spare enough men to see
that the crowd does not get excited and
try to wreak vengeance on her. It was
much easier to protect her behind the bars
than it will be outside of them. / hope in
the name of good order that she doesn't
secure sufficient surety until the demon
stratio1s are over tomorrow and the Presi-
dent laid in his last resting place.
THE mourning will reach its climax to-
morrow. Business will be suspended, and
with their thoughts on the dastardly deed
which deprived us of our President it is
not at all improbable that plenty of men
CT uld be found In exactly the mood to at
tack Emma Goldman, or any other an
archist. Every precaution will be taken to
avoid any breach of the peace
Miss Goldman declared that she hoped to
get out if for no other reason than to
show the police that she does not need or
care for their protection.
Goldman is Brave.
"I am tired of this talk OF protecting
me-" she said. II want to Walk on the
streets and show them that I don't need
their assistance. We were prepared to fur
nish $15, coo bail Perhaps it will take time
to get the other 5000 bail. 1 would like
to be free for another reason-to help Mr.
Isaak and the other anarchists who are
being prosecuted by the police. That is
what I came to Chicago for in the first
place."
