Chicago, Sept. 13.-Because of threats
Of lynching the prisoners made by an
cry citizens Oh the streets Judge-Chet-
lain decided to hear the habeas corpus
cases of the alleged anarchists in the
criminal court building instead of in
the county building. The county build
ing is in the downtown district, where
bulletins telling of the presidents con-
diti0n are literally posted.
The anarchists are locked up In the
| Jail just to the rear Of the criminal
court building, the two being connected
by covered courtway. 1t is Ave blocks
from the Jail to the county building,
where Judge Chetlan ordinarily sits.
Sheriff Magerstadt moved among the
excited crowds and heard threats of
| lynching freely made. Fearing that
| an attack might be made in bringing
the prisoners down town, he went to
the Judge and requested him to make
the change. He told Judge Chetlaln
that the crowds were angry and that
every bulletin from the presidents bed
side made them more threatening.
Judge Chetlaln readily consented to
the change.
An Angry Crowd.
1.-The anger of the crowd is justifia-

feel with them. but there will be no
lynching in Chicago. 1t is impossible.
The sherif's precautions are wise. 1t

Chicago crowd SO angry as this one"
City Prosecutor Taylor has decided
that there IL no reason whatever for
continuing to hold Abraham lsaak, the
nineteen-year-olds son of the elder Isaak,
longer In custody. AS no evidence has
as yet been received from Buffalo,
Taylor says that the present charges
constitute nothing more than INSIDE
meanOr and that the prisoners are con-
seIuently eutitled to bail. He, how
ever, asked to have the bail placed at a
high figure, possibly $4,000 or $4,000.
After Judge Chetlain called the court
to order the nine prisoners charged
with conspiracy to kill the president
were led in and given. seats behind Il
row of bailitfs. Sheriff Magerstadt
was present in person. Throughout
the room were deputy shcriffs and de-
tectivcs in plain clothes. the sheriff
having determined to take every posi-
bic pr"cautiOn against trouble.

Argument For Prisoners.
Leopold Saltiel. representing the pris-
oncrs opened the argument. asking for
the release of his clients on the ground
that they were being held without a
shadow of legal reason. Attorney Sal
tirl claimed in an excited voice that all
the papers in the case were, insufficient
and We're issued under false pretpnsc.
Judge Chetlain interrupted to say II
appeared to him that the case was still
n matter for Justice prindiville to set
tie. The ease. he said. was still pend
ing before the magistrate, who had
agreed to hear it Sept. 10. Mr.. Saltel
tAercupoll launched into lengthy dis
course to show that the upper court
had jurisdiction. Not scintiIla of ev-
idence. he said. had been produced to
show that the prisoners We're guilty Of
"couspiring to murder the president"
as charged in the complaint.
John +. Geeting. assistant counsel
for the prisoners, followed Mr.. Salticl.
When Lawyer Getting ceased speak,
ing Dr. Taylor, for the city. arose and |
said the only question before the court |
was the adequate jurisdiction of the
Justice Of the court--tliat is, the juris- |
dirtion o: Magistrate Priln!!ville. His
argument was technical. tending TO
uphold the authority of the lower court
and the legality of the official acts OF |
PrinJiviIle.
Tie haheas corpus ease was then |
postponed. no decision being given on
any of the points raised, the prisoners
hehlg renanded to Jail.
Emma Goldman is not party to the
habras corpus proceedings, but Justice
Prindeville has announced that he will !
BE- governed in her case by the decision
in the other cases and will fix her bail
accordingly.
