GOLDMAN Is NOT SORRY
Anarchist Has No Regrets Over Death
Of President.

Chicago, Sept. ID. Emma Goldman
sat this morning in a comfortable
room in the woman's annex of the
Harrison street police station. She
was cynical and defiant. She remain
ed where she has been confined since
her arrest. and still has the liberty of
the matron's Office.
"Do you feel no sorrow today"
she was asked.
NO." she exclaimed in a harsh
voice.
"You read the account of how a
crowd OF people gathered in the street
prayed and sang hymns when they
heard the news-have you no feeling
for their SORROW" was asked.
"They were ignorant, deceived, "
she snapped out the words and struck
the paper in which she had read the
account, with clinched fist. 81 see no
reason for regretting McKinley's
death"
Chicago, Sept. Ia. Emma Goldman,
who is looked upon as the most i'm
portant OF the Anarchists incarcerated
here, was spirited away from the
woman's annex Of the Harrison street
police station early this morning
when it was learned that the President
was dead.
She was hastily put in a cab by two
policeman. The police tried to keep
the matter secret and denied it for
some time. 1t was admitted this
morning, however, but Captain Ma
honey refused to tell where the woman
had been taken. Her removal, he
said, was merely precautionary
measure and it was probable she
would soon be brought back.
While Miss Goldman was being hur-
ried to safety in cab crowd num-
bering about 100 men started for the
annex loudly threatening to lynch
Miss Goldman. They had waited in
front of the bulletin board till all
hope was gone and then started out to
execute vengeance. After proceeding
few blocks, however, cooler heads
in the crowd succeeded in checking the
excitement and somewhat later they
sullenly dispersed.

HE FEIGNS INSANITY
Cz0lg0sz Refuses to Talk Before the
Court

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Leon f.
Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman, was in
dicted today by the county court
grand jury for the crime of murder in
the first degree in fatally shooting
President Mckinley in the Temple #
Music, in the Pan-American exposi-
ton grounds at 4:35 o'clock on the
afternoon of September 6.
District Attorney Penney presented
the evidence in the murder case to the
grand jury.
AT 4:4l the secret indictment was
presented to Judge Emery in the
county court.
Then ensued wait Of an hour, but
the rumor thatthe murderer was to be
arraigued spread and in a short time
the court room was crowded. Great
secrecy was maintained as to the place
OF continent of the prisoner, but it is
believed that he was locked up in the
temporary jail at the Erie county peni-
tertiary, where prisoners have been
kept while the Jail has been undergo
ing repairs. After the Indictment
was reported the prisoner pris-
oner was driven from the peniten-
tiary, mile from the city hall, to the
jail across the street from the hall.
Czolgosz was then taken under strong
guard from the jail through the tunnel
under Delaware avenue to the base
ment of the city hall and up the stairs
to the court room on the second floor.
The prisoner was shacSled to
detective and another detective held
his other arm, Assistant Superinten-
dent Cusack marching in front and
number of patrOlmen behind.
When the prisoner was taken before
the bench the crowd in the court room
surged about him on all sides. They
were compelled to resume their seats
Czolgosz is OF medium heigth, of
fairly good build and has light, curly
hair, but a ten days growth of beard
on his face gave him an unkempt APP
pearance. Apparently, he feigned in
sanity, not stupidity, and his glance
roamed about, but his eyes were
always downcast. Not once did he
look the county prosecutor or the
judge in the face.
"Czolgos2, have you lawyer? Do
you wish lawyer; You have been
indicted for murder in the first degree.
Do you want lawyer to defend you?
Czolgosz look at me and a lswer."
District Attorney Penney fired these
at the prisoner, his voice rising with
each succeeding question, but Czolgosz
stubbornly refused to answer. The
district attorney specially suggested
that counsel be assigned to defend the
prisoner and ascertain what he had
better do as to his plea to the indict-
ment before arrangement.
Judge Emery then asked the pris-
oner before the bar if he had counsel,
but there was no answer, despite the
fact that the peace officers told him the
judge was speaking and that he must
answer.
Judge Emery directed the officers to
notify the attorneys and remove IL o
prisoner.
