asked.
With a wave Of her hands and anoth-
! er shrug of the shoulders she replied
disdainfully:
IT thought that-oh, the fool" The
prisoner thus far had been growing
more and more excite ed. although she
made an evident effort to control her
self. In this she finally succeeded and
launched into discussion of the teach
ings of anarchy. She declared that an
archy did not teach men to do the act
which has made Czolgosz despised and
hated the world over.
1--WE work against the system and
education is our watchword," she said
1T was early last July when I came
to Chicago to visit the Isaaks family,
she continued in answer to an interro-
CATION concerning her whereabouts re-
Gently. On the night of July IL, Mr..
Isaaks was out of the house. I went to
the door and the man whom I learn
through the newspapers was Czolgosz,
stood there. He said he wanted to see
me. I was about to catch the Nickle
Plate train, as I and Mr.. Isaaks S
daughter were about to 60 to Rochester
He went to the Rock Island depot with
us; but was so busy taking leave Of my
friends that I scarcely noticed him. 1t
was not a time when one would want
to make new friends. At the depot
had the few words with him Of which
I have told. That was all there was be-
tween US. I am an anarchists stu
dent of sociology-but nothing in any
thing I ever said to Leon Czolgos7
knowingly would have led him to do the
act which startled everybody Friday"
mot even in your lectures?" she was
asked.
HE says your words set his brain
on fire."
"Am I accountable because some
crack Drained person paced a wrong
construction on my words?
Leon Czolgosz, am convinced, plan
ned the deed unaided and entirely
alone. There is no anarchist ring
which would help them. There may
be anarchists who would murder; but
there are also persons ir every walk of
life who sometimes feel the impulse to
kill. I do not know surely but think
Czolgosz was one of those down-trod-
den men who see all the misery which
the rich inflict upon the poor, who think
Of it, who brood over it, and then in
despair resolve to strike great blow
as they think. for the good Of their
fellowman. But that is not anarchy.
"Czolgosz." the Russian woman. pro-
nounced the name with the greatest
ease. "Czolgosz may have been inspir-
ed by me: but If he was, he took the
wrong way Of showing It,"
Later in the day Miss Goldman was
interviewed in the Toman's annex at
the police station by an Associated
Press representative and stenographic
report taken. Miss Goldman said: 81
feel sure that the police are helping us
more than I could in ten years. They
are making more anarchists than the
most prominent people connected with
the anarchist cause could in ten years.
If they will only continue 7 shall be
very grateful, for they will save me lots
of work."
what do you think Of your own ar
rest?" she was asked.
IF I told you." she replied. ut would
look somewhat conceited, and I certain
ly would not like to be guilty Of that.
Not only my arrest; but the others
smack Of the Haymarket. The police
are very much in disrepute all over the
country and they wish to do something
to clear themselves. They are trying to
make 1t an anarchist plot; If they wish
to make up a case they may succeed"
What man in the United States. In
your opinion, Is of sufficient prominence
to warrant such plot?" she was asked.
"I am not in a position to say" re-
piled Miss Goldman, who ought to be
killed. The monopolists and the
wealthy of this country are responsible
for the existence Of a Czolgosz. II i'm
perialism would not grow in this coun-
try; If the liberties Of the people were
not trampled under foot. there would
have been no evidence
Referring to the would-be assassin.
Miss Goldman said: II feel that the
man is one Of those unfortunates who
has been driven to despair and misery
to commit the deed. feel very deeply
with him as an individual, as I would
feel with anybody who suffers. If had
means I would help him as much as
could; would see that he had counsel
and that justice was done him."
Although the whole world awaited
Friday afternoon for bulletins from the
presidents bedside, Miss Goldman did
not care enough about the report that
he had been shot, which she heard
newsboys shouting, to buy paper. 1t
was Saturday noon before her interest
was sufficiently aroused to buy news
paper containing the story. She was
more interested in the arrest Of the
Chicago anarchists than in the presi-
dents condition. Asked If she thought
Czolgosz's act was praiseworthy from
her point of view. she answered.: II
am not in position to say whether it
was good or bad. 1t is bad for the man
who attempted to do it. I am not in
his boots and know nothing about it..
What 1 don't see is why they should
make more fuss over the president than
anybody else. All men are born
