Chicago. Sept n--Magistrate Prindi-
vile today granted d continuance till
September 19 in the case of the an
archist lecturer. Emma Goldman, who
was arrested here yesterday. City
Prosecutor Owens stated that the pris-
oner was charged with conspiracy to
murder the president. and that there
fore he desired that she be held with
out bail Miss Goldman was not repre-
sented by counsel but declared she was
ready to proceed with the hearing
When the court granted the continu
ance she said she wanted to be allowed
her freedom under bond. The magis-
trate said that the latest bulletin indi-
Gated that the distinguished patient at
Buffalo was on the high road to recov-
cry, and that he would consider the
matter of bail further and would an
nounce his decision at noon.
Miss Goldman appeared in court at
$50 a. m. under the escort of Martin
Keegan. She seemed surprised that no
lawyer was there to take up her de-
fense, and glanced uneasily about the
room full of uncouth prisoners and
curious spectators. She asked for
Lawyers Saltie1 and Brown, both of

court, and Justice Prindlville said he
would wait a reasonable time for them
to appear.
Although the telephone was kept busy

She looked tired and worn. and there
were evidences of nervousness in her
manner. She was dressed the same as
yesterday in a shirt waist and blue
walking skirt. When Prosecutor owens
repeated the charge against her she
flushed and then smiled.

SAYS SHE KNOWS THE POLICE.
Chicago, Sept. 11--When shown dis
patch from New York stating that
CzOlgosz had admitted that there was
a plot to assassinate the president, and
mentioning her, Miss Goldman said:
Buffalo since I left there the latter
part of August do not believe that
Czolgosz has confessed. because it
does not seem reasonable that a man
who declares that he had no one to as
sist him=Why should he implicate meT
He has not confessed anything of the
sort. I do not know what means the
police might use to extOrt a confession,
and a man is liable to say things that
he does not mean. I know for instance
that in 1893, when I was arrested be
cause of the big strike, / delivered a
lecture in Philadelphia. There was no
talk of arrest until I had gone to Phila-
delphia. While in Philadelphia a war
rant was issued for my arrest. but they
could not find me in New York. so they
arrested a man whom they had seen at
one or two meetings with me. He was
a German whom l had seen perhaps
several times. but who had absolutely
nothing further to do with me They
took him to the stat ton and first tried
with all possible means to get 2 con-
fession out of him. The poor man said
that he did not know anything about
.sThen they dubbed him till he was
nearly dead and said he should tell
where I was. Finally they found out
that he was rather fond of beer, so
they proceeded to intoxicate him 50 as
to get confession Then the man was
in such a condition that they could not
let him appear IN public he was so
bruised. Because they could not let
him out they gave MIN six months IN
the penitentiary. 7 know perfectly we'll
what the police can do if they want a
confession. I don't make any accusa-
ton, but>I say that they may use
means of getting one which can not
be compatible with the laws Of free
country. They would have to use very
severe means before they would get a
confession out OF me-.
When asked if she expected that she
would be set free. Miss Goldman said:
THAT I can not say. because know
the police. IF they wish to carry out
things legally they must let me go free.
