ANARCHIST WEARS SMILE.
Isaak was the first called, after Cap
tain Comeran and Chief O'NeH had held
a brief conference. He. came into Cap
1 tain Colleran's Office with a smile on his
/ face, and his short. eroppy hair brushed
back until il stood almost at right angles
with his protruding forehead. Isaak was
! followed into the Office by Mayor Harri-
! son. who remained throughout the inter-
views. Chief ONeiI conducted the ex-
animation.
! Isaak told his story without any slIg-
/ gestion OF reticence. and occasionally
punctuated his answers with anarchistic
/ utterances, angry mods of his head. or
! emphatic gestures with his clenched fist.
! He admitted at the outset that Emma
/ Goldman had been guest at his house
I during her stay in Chicago, and that
/ CzoIgosz. who was known among local
! anarchists as Czolgoz also called there
and had been a recipient Of his hospital
ity.
/ cZoLoosz MEETS GOLDMAN.
DO you know Emma Goldman?" Chief
{ O'Nen began.
Yes, she was at my house during the
latter part OF June and the first two
weeks of July" Isaak answered. ''The
last time I saw her was on July p. On
this day she left Chicago for Buffalo.
1 met her at the Lake Shore depot as
she was leaving. When I reached the
depot I found her talking to a strange
man, who appeared about . years old.
and was well dressed and was smooth
shaven."
What was the color of his eyes2'
Il didn't notice Miss Goldman told
me the fellow had been following her
around wanting to talk to her. but she
had no time to devote to him. She asked
me to find out what the fellow wanted.
Tho man made a bad impression on
me from the first. and when he called me
aside and asked me about the secret meet
ings of the Chicago anarchists, I was
sure he was a spy. I despised the man
as soon as I saw him and was positive
he was a spy.
Emma Goldman went away on train
which left about half an hour after my
meeting with this stranger, who gave his
name as Czlosz (Czolgosz). I wante to
learn more about the stranger, so. when
went home, asked him TO accompany me.
On the way to my house he asked me
again and again about the secret meet
ings of our societies. and the impression
grew upon me that ne was a spy. He
asked me if we would give him money,
and told him no, but added that if he
wanted TO stay in Chicago 1 would help
him to get work.
When we reached my house We sat
out on the porch for about ten minutes.
and his talk during that time was radical.
He said he had been a socialist for many
lears, but that he was looking for some
thing more active than socialism. I was
sure then that the fellow was a spy. and
I wanted to search and unmask him, so /
arranged with him to come TO my house
on the following morning for breakfast.
Il took him over to Mrs. Esther Wolf
sons rooming house at 425 Carroll ave-
nue. and engaged a room for him. Mrs.
Wolfson has since moved TO New York.
CZoLGoSZ GOES EAST.
Il didn't see Colgosz again after that
night. He failed to come to my house for
breakfast, and when J went over to
Mrs. Wolfson's to inquire about him
was told that he had slipped away with
out saying where he was going. 1 was
suspicious of him all the time, so I wrote
10 Z. Schnling. one or our comrades in
Cleveland, Ohio. and asked him If he
knew of such a amaR.
SHILLING replied that a fellow answer
ing his description had called on him and
that ne believed the man TO be a spy.
in the employ of the police. He said he
wanted to search the stranger, but he
was alone when he called and did not
care TO attempt the job. Schilling ar
ranged for another nights meeting but
Czolgosz did not show up. and all trace
of him was lost. 1 wrote TO Cleveland
because Czolgosz told me he once lived
there.
After I received SchiTing's letter I
printed an article in my paper denouncing
the fellow as a SPY and warning my peo-
pie against him
Are you an anarchist?" Chief O'Nen
asked.
ANARCHISTS ARE PROUD OF 1T.
yes sir. I am" Isaak answered with
swelling pride.
What do you mean by anarchism?
the chief continued.
T mean a country without government.
We recognize neither law nor the right
of one man to govern another. The
trouble with the world is that It IS strug-
Cling TO abolish effect without seeking to
get at the cause. Yes. lam an anarchist,
