Goldman Indifferent
Anarchist Queen Made Single Comment at News of Death, Showing
No Sign of Regret or Pity.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—When shown the press despatch
announcing the death of the president, Emma Goldman, the anarchist now being
held at the Harrison street station, carefully adjusted her glasses, 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 affect 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 they have none. They are holding
me without evidence. The death of McKinley will 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.”
