Mother Defends Her Daughter
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 9.—Emma Goldman, for whom
the police of all the cities are searching, was born in Korovka, Russia, thirty-two
years ago. She worked in a tannery and shoe factory here for several years,
and later had a corset shop of her own.
Of her daughter Mrs. Goldman said to-night:
“Emma is a woman of superior intelligence. She
knows that a President killed to-day could be replaced to-morrow and that nothing
would be gained. She has never taught anarchism, murder, bloodshed nor incendiarism.
She knows that these things cannot but fail of their object. Her whole life
has been devoted to raising up the working man. When any great calamity has
befallen a monarch or a ruler she has invariably expressed great regret or sorrow
over the event. Emma was always an obedient child. She was affectionate, but
inclined to brood over wrongs to her race. No one regrets more than my daughter
the injury of President McKinley.”
