day decided to allow Emma Goldman the
archist, her freedom, until the comes up for
hearing. under bonds of $4,000. Her attorneys
said they had secured $4,000 and Immediately
left the courtroom to seek the additional money
necessary. Meanwhile Miss Goldman was led
back to the woman's annex at the Harrison-st
station. She was much disappointed at the
amount of the bond required.
Il guess they thought they would make the
bond so oig couldn't furnish it, she said. 'but
1 have friends the police know nothing about
and I'll be out of her by night"
The hearing of Miss Goldmans case on the
charge of conspiracy to murder President Nc
kinley" was set for tomorrow. Her counsel
however, learning that there would be no ses-
sion of the courts tomorrow, because of the
Presidents funeral, decided conference this
morning to take the matter of bail before the
magistrate to-day. The matter of Emma Gold
mans guilt or innocence of the charge against
her was not mentioned, Justice Prindiville has
decided to follow the example of Judge Chetlain
who has the cases of the other anarchists before
him.
She was exceedingly cheerful when she was
brought into court by Chief Matron Ksegan, and
chatted vivaciousy with her attorneys. She
wore the blue walking skirt and dark jacket
which have become familiar at the station.
Mr.. Geeting. her counsel addressed the court
first. He said that, while the defence was will
ing to allow the police every opportunity to Sc
cure evidence against Emma Goldman as we'll
as the other anarchists, he was confident
that Miss Goldman was entitled under the law
to freedom under bonds
Il can assure this court" said the LAWYER
that my client, if under bond at all other
than her word. would appear before this court
whenever desired"
John e. Owens. representing the City Prose-
cutor. made no objection to bail being allowed
but pleaded that. in view of the Importance of
the case. and the national interest in it. that
the bond be made heavy as possible in ac-
cordance with the Illinois statutes
Justice Prindiville, In admitting the prisoner
to bail, said
Il think this woman is entitled to bail under
the law governing such cases. The matter
however is one of such importance that the
court feels the necessity of exercising the great
est discretion, and L will therefore be COM
PEELED to make the bond a heavy one-S2O OOO"
When told that bail had been allowed Chief
of Police ONeill said:
I'm sorry to hear It, We will need all our
men tomorrow to guard the line of march of
the parade. and now suppose will have to
spare enough men to see that the crowd doesn't
get excited and try to wreak vengeance on her.
1t was much easier to protect her behind the
bars than it will be outside of them I hope IN
the name Of good order that she doesn't secure
sufficient surety until the demonstrations are
over tomorrow, and the President laid in his
idSt iesttiiS pidCe ne mourning VIII TeaCh It's
climax tomorrow: business will be suspended
and. with their thoughts the dastardly deed
which deprived of our President it Is not at
all improbable that plenty of men could be
found in exactly the mood to attack Emma
Goldman or any other anarchist. Every pre-
caution will be taken TO avoid any breach of
the peace"
Emma Goldman declared that she hoped 10
get out If for other reason than to show the
police that she didn't care for need their pro-
lection.
Il am tired of this talk of protecting me-" she
said II want to walk on the streets and show
them that | don't need their assistance We
were prepared TO furnish $4,000 bail. Perhaps
IL viii take time to get the other $1,000 ball. L
would like to be free for another reason-to
help Mr. Isaak and the other anarchists who
are being prosecuted by the police. That is
what came to Chicago for In the first place"
Up TO a late hour the necessary bond had not
been furnished.
