she WAS WITHOUT COUNSEL
None of Her Friends Appeared
at Police Station.
OTHER ANARCHIST CASES

rested here yesterday. City Prosecutor
Owens stated that the prisoner was charged
with conspiracy to murder the President.
and therefore he desired that she be held
without bail.
Miss Goldman was not represented by
counsel, but declared her desire to have an
immediate hearing. With a determined lit
tie snap of her teeth she said she was ready
to proceed without counsel. When the
court granted the continuance she said she
wanted to be allowed her freedom under
bond
The magistrate said that as the latest
bulletin indicated that the distinguished
patient at Buffalo was son the high road
to recovery, he would consider the matter
of bail further and would announce his
decision at noon.
Proceeds without Counsel.
Although the telephone was kept busy,
an hour elapsed and the lawyers were still
absent. Chief of Detectives Colleran then
demanded that the hearing should proceed
1t took only a few minutes, and then Miss
Goldman was led back to her room in the
women's annex. She looked tired and ner-
vous. When Prosecutor Owens repeated
the charge against her she flushed and then
smiled
Il asked the chief of police last night to
have Lawyer Saltiel sent to me- she said
to an Associated Press reporter before
leaving the court room. II guess he must
have forgotten it. 1 expected that my
friends would have been busy Ia my behalf
forgetting that most OF them have. been
locked up In this naffon7wtde dragnet
which the police have flung ont"
Shortly after Miss 'Goldman- left court
Lawyer Browne called ON the prisoner and
Informed her that he win ask for writ of
habeas corpus in her behalf this afternoon.
Justice Prindivile therefore consented to a
further postponement OF the bail matter
until pm.
Spent UncOmfortable Night.
Emma Goldman spent an ~uncomfort-
able night at the Harrison street po-
lice station. In the evening. her head be-
gan to ache violently from tte strain un-
der which she had been. lab01ng all day.
Being trained nurse by profession she in
sisted on treating herself and wrote pre-
scription which she handed to Chief Ma
tron Keegan with request that 1t be fill
ed. The matron. however. declined to ac-
qu1esce without the sanction OF the chief of
police. fearing that the seemingly innocent
slip Of paper might cali for poison. Con-
seGuently the prisoner spent a sleepless
night. during which she talked to the ma
tron. again and again repeating her won-
der that $50 insignificant man as Nc
kinley' should receive such widespread at
tention. --.<
She did not see a lawyer, saying she was
willing to take it for granted that her
friends in the city would see that she had
proper legal assistance.
The preliminary hearing was set for
O'Clock before Justice Prndiville.
Her Appearance In Court.
At $50 am. Miss Goldman looking pale
but determined, appeared in court She was
accompanied by Matron Keegan, and
hastily scanned the crowd. None of her
acquaintances appeared, however.
Assistant City Prosecutor Owens told the
magistrate that Chief Bull of Buffalo had
asked the Chicago police to hold Miss Gold
man as long as possible, pending the in
Vestlgatlon they were making. Mr.. Owens
asked Tor a postponement of the case until
september ID. the date set for the hearing
or the other anarchists under arrest here.
Miss Goldman had no attorney, the re-
nance she had placed on friends apparently
having been a mistake. Justice Prindivile
asked If she were ready to proceed. She re-
piled in the affirmative, and asked If either
Lawyer Saltiel or Lawyer Brown was in
il., the room; ;, Neither was present, and the
Justice said he would wait a while to see
If either appeared. Miss Goldman was then
taken back to the annex
Mayor Harrison's Views.
Speaking of the story told by Emma
Goldman, Mayor Harrison said yesterday:
Il believe she Is exactly what she says
she is-a rank anarchist She is woman
of decidedly great ability, and even If she
were connected with a deed of that sort 1
think she Is too smart to be caught at 1t.
"Of course" he continued, "in all the acts
OF the police department in this matter we
have been acting merely under instructions
received from Buffalo. We are simply con-
cerned in getting the people that they are
after, at the same time following up any
Aharv nlxynJ harn
l am convinced that if there was any plot
1t originated not in Chicago, but in some
point In the east-Detroit. Cleveland, To-
ledo' or some of those cities. We have no
evidence against her except that she is
wanted by the Buffalo authorities
1t Is the opinion Of several lawyers that
MISS Goldman cannot be extradited for
trial In New York, unless she and Czol-
gosz are charged with an offense under
the federal statutes The suggestion that
the would-be assassin must be tried under
the state laws of New York for assault
with intent to kill would, it Is said, pre-
clude the possibility OF Miss Goldman's
being extradited as an accessory before
the fact, as her alleged incendiary state
nnents were not made In New York and
she is not fugitive from Justice from that
state.
1t is said, however, that She and Czol-
gosz might be charged with an offense un-
der section 55O8 Of tha federal statutes.
