Friend of Czolgosz Jailed
Street Speaker in Detroit Arrested for a Seditious Utterance.
Tom Bawden, a Detroit single tax
advocate and street speaker, whose defiance of the police brought on the riot
in the Campus Martius last May, has been arrested, just after he had declared,
speaking of Leon Czolgosz: “I wish to God that there were a lot of others [sic]
just such men in this country.”
Bawden was speaking from his wagon on the campus.
He led up to his incriminating remark by saying: “This man who attempted to
assassinate McKinley, like many other men believed that the people are oppressed.”
After his utterance Supt. of Police Downey ordered Bawden to cease talking,
and on his refusal arrested him on the charge of disorderly conduct and inciting
trouble. Police Commissioner Andrews declares that all advocates of anarchistic
doctrines will be driven out of town by the police says a Detroit dispatch.
