EMMA GOLDMAN, THE
presidents have had a heart or some
thing, but this poor feIlow-God for
give him, since he knows nothing
is tool in the hands of the wealthy,
and II seems very remarkable for Mark
Hanna to say that he was notified of a
plot for his assassination. 1 think Nc
Kinley too insignificant for such
thing"
What man in the United States is
of sufficient prominence to warrant
such a plot?" she was asked.

chicago anarchists than in the presi-
cent condition, When asked why she
/ did not appear before the police when
she learned that she was wanted. Miss
/ Goldman said:
For reasons Of my own I did not
make myself known. I like to fool the

came to Chicago shows that 1 had no

necessity of announcing myself to the
police, and also to be able to help Mr.
Isaak and his family thew being among
the anarchists arrested. If the police
were able to connect me with the at

give myself up.
When I arrived in Chicago I went
to a hotel and registered under an as
