Chicago, Sept. 14-Emma Goldman,
who is looked upon as the most import

was spirited away from the womans
annex Of the Harrison street police sta
ton early this morning when il was
learned that the president was dead.
She was hastily put in a cab by two
policemen The police tried to keep the

he said the meeting was purely social
This statement. however, conflicts with
the one given by Miss Goldman who
told the Associated Press reporter that
she was in Cincinnati September 2, and
left that city for St. Louis that night.
Reporters have not been able to see
Miss Goldman in regard to the seeming
conflict in the stories told by herself

Goldman. told a reDOrter this morning
that when Miss Goldman heard that
the police were getting a statement
from DR. Saylin she said:

has not the memory for dates that I /
have and if he trusts to his memory I'm |
afraid he'll make trouble
