Harry Wenberger, attorney for Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman, stated in a brief which he filed
with the Supreme court yesterday that to deport that
precious pair Russia would be equivalent to sending
them to death. Unpleasant if not fatal consequences
probably would have followed the deportation of Cold
man and Berkman at any time, but that fact did not
make them any more anxious to conduct themselves
properly in the land that gave them asylum They have
forfeited any right they may have had to hospitality
here And while the people of the United States would
be sorry if anything very serious were to happen to
Them will have to be conceded that they and not the
United States are responsible for whatever odes happen
