Emma Goldman came here Thursday
night from Cincinnati where she made
only brief sojourn. He says she de-
parted for Chicago Saturday night, but
left the train before reaching Chicago,
perhaps. When Emma Goldman came
into the rendezvous Saturday, Kurzenk-
nabe showed her the newspapers relat-
ing to the circumstances of President
McKinley's shooting and stated that
she was accused of being implicated.
She laughed aloud. Lets see them
prove what they allege," she said.
AN ANARCHIST ARRESTED AT
SILVER CITY.
Antonio Maggie, the anarchist who,
while with the Andrews Opera COM
pany as a cornet player, told Fritz
Huffman, a member of the company,
that President Mckinley was doomed
to assassination before October 1, was
arrested yesterday morning at Santa
Rita, Grant county and was taken to
the county Jail at Silver City,
Maggie, while in Silver City last win
ter, with the Andrews Opera company
was discharged on account of threats
made against the manager He has
since lived in Grant county. For sew
eral months he furnished music at the
White House saloon, Silver City. Then
he worked as a barber. Finally he
drifted to Santa Rita, where he played
in a saloon. He is about so years of
age, tall and dark. About Silver City
his anarchistic views are well known.
He has talked about killing rulers and
to several citizens has made the asser-
ton that he might be called upon to
commit assassination. He claims men,
bership in the Malestes society of
Rome, Italy. 1t is probable that the
dispositions of number, of Silver City
people to whom Maggie has talked will
be taken. While he has mentioned
President Mckinley and said that he
would welcome the command to kill
him., he has not said at Silver City as
far as known that the. day of the
presidents death had been set.
Huffman, while employed as a sin
ger by the Andrews company, had been
told by Maggie of plot to assassinate
President Mckinley and Emperor Will
lam.
