Goldman Has No Sympathy
Arch Priestess of Anarchy Shows Utter Indifference at News That President Is Dying.
Chicago, Sept. 13.—When shown the Associated
Press dispatch announcing the inevitable death of the president, Emma Goldman,
the anarchist lecturer, now being held, carefully adjusted her glasses and read
the bulletin and, after a moment’s pause, without a change of expression said:
“Very sorry.” Absolutely no shade of regret or pity showed itself upon her countenance.
“I do not see how that can effect my case,” she
added. “If it is carried on lawfully and legally, they have no evidence against
me. Chief Bull and Chief O’Neill have admitted that they have none. They are
holding me without evidence. The death of McKinley would only lengthen my term
of imprisonment if they convicted me. I feel very bad for the sake of Mrs. McKinley,
outside of that I have no sympathy.”
