justice to the living. this case should be
postponed till Monday.
We Immediately communicated our
views to the prisoners, and they heartily
indorsed our position. While the President
lived they desired their liberty, but now.
as he Is dead, they say they are willing to
remain where they are for forty-eight
hours. and give the public authorities ample
opportunity to investigate Then we will
desire hearing, both upon the law and
the evidence, and will ask their final dis
charge"

be made the day for reconvening court.
and in this the judge concurred, stating
that there was already a move on foot to
close all the courts Monday, out Of respect
to the memory of the nations dead chief.
Assistant City Prosecutor Owens stated
today that by the death Of the President
| the conspiracy charged against the anarch-
lists becomes much more serious. While
the President lived the charge against
them was misdemeanor, but now that he
is dead, under the laws of Illinois, If it can
be shown that they conspired to produce
his death. and aided and abetted the mur-
derer, they are equally guilty with Czol-
goSz.
Miss Goldman Threatened.
CHICAGO. September 14.-"Emma Gold
man Is still at Harrison street police sta
tion,'' said Chief of Police O'Neill, when
his attention was directed to a story that
she had been spirited away from fear Of
mob violence. There is no occasion for
alarm and there is no reason for her re-
mOval from her present quarters"
Early this morning a crowd numbering
about 100 men started for the annex, loud
ly threatening to lynch Miss Goldman.
They had waited in front of the bulletin
board until all hope gone, and then
started out to execute vengeance After
proceeding a few blocks, however, cooler
heads in the crowd succeeded in checking
the excitement, and somewhat later the
crowd dispersed.
DIR. SayIin Is n Mystery.
DrsI. Sayln, the Buffalo physician ar
rested Thursday night, is the most mys-
terious prisoner who has been arrested here
in connection with the investigation of an
alleged plot against the Presidents life.
In his statement to the police DR.. Saylin
is quoted as saying that he Emma Gold
man and others were iE Buffalo September
2, but he said the meeting was surely So
cial This statement, however, conflicts
with the one given by Miss Goldman, who
|. told the Associated Press reporter that she
was in Cincinnati September 2, and left
| that city for ST. Louis that night.
| Chief Matron Keegan, who has had
| charge of Miss Goldman, told a reporter
this morning that when Miss Goldman
heard that the police were getting a state
ment from DR.. Saylin she said: Hes
likely to get us all in jail; he hasn't the
memory for dates that / have, and If he
| trusts to his memory I'm afraid he'll make
trouble"
