where Emma Goldman stayed while in st.
Louis
Chief OF Detectives Desmond has detailed
six detectives on the St. Louis end Of the
Goldman case to ascertain whether there
was any plot matched in st. Louis to assas-
sinate President Mckinley, and If so who
were in the plot.
There is nothing to give out tonight"
said the Chief NO arrests have been
made. 1 instructed my men not to arrest
any one because he was an anarchist, but
to find out first If he had any part in the
plot or attended any meetings where the
plot was discussed.
II don't know whether there was any
plot in ST. Louis. / am inclined to think it
was Matched in the East in some of the
cities where the anarchists are stronger
than they are here. But if / find that any
st. Louis anarchists even knew that II was
going to happen or discussed 1t with Emma
Goldman. they will be promptly arrested.
I must have reasons, however, for believ-
ing they were implicated. / was talking
with Assistant Circuit Attorney Bishop to-
day and he told me had no authority TO
arrest men simply because they believed in

SECRET AGENT MURPHY
MAY HAVE GONE EAST.
Secret Service Agent John f. Murphy is
believed to have gone to Buffalo. n. v.
to work on the attempted assassination of
President Mckinley. Chief Wilkte has or
dered a dozen of his best men to report at
Buffalo, and as Mr.. Murphy has always
been regarded as one of the shrewdest men
in the Secret Service his friends say they
believe he is in Buffalo.
Murphy left his office hurTiedly Montay
Washington. His Office has been closed
since. and he is not at his home. When
asked Monday afternoon II he had been
ordered to investigate the workings of the
anarchist crowd in st. Louis. he declined to
| state. Federal officials located here say It
will be an easy matter for them to ascer-
tain the names of nearly all st: Louis
| anarchists whenever they desire. Anarch-
| lists ali over the country are subscribers
| to the papers published by Herr Most. and
many copies come to ST. Louis. The names
| Of the St. Louis subscribers may be oh
| tained from these papers II the post office
inspector orders It done. Murphy has de-
clared that the attack on the President was
| unavoidable. He acted as bodyguard
both to President Cleveland and President
Mckinney, and says they felt great
