PRISONERS
TO BE HELD
No Evidence of Conspiracy Now, But
its Details Must be Ferreted Out.
Emma Goldman Says She Would Have
Made No Effort to Save the Pres!-
dent From the Assassin.

CHICAGO Sept. II This settles II "
said Chief OF Police O'Neill, when in
formed Of the Presidents death. 1--WE
will hold every anarchist prisoner We
have. No judge will release them aud
we will keep them as long as we choose.
We have no evidence Of conspiracy now,
but its details must be ferreted out and
IL We find one we will not be compelled
to hunt for any OF the prisoners we have
now and who might have been released
tomorrow.
"Then, too, IL is the best thing for
them to remain where they are for a
time at least. What would Emma
She would not live two minutes"
All night long dense crowds packed
the streets in front Of the newspaper
Offices. Men and women wearie W tn
long standing sat on the sidewalks with
their feet in the cutters, listening to the
bulletins as they were called out through
megaphones or watching them as they
were thrown on sheets. The crowd was
as large when the last bulletin came as
at 8 o'clock in the evening. The feeling
was intense, and the temper OF the
crowd when it realized that the end had
come was cruel.
There can be little doubt that had any
OF the anarchists been released on
habeas corpus proceedings today they
woul have been slaughtered on sight.
