Buffalo, Sept. 11.—The condition of
„ne President continued favorable
throughout the day and nothing oc
curred to shake the faith the attending
surgeons and physicians have express
ed that he will recover.
The danger from two sources was
pronounced practically over to-day. The
holes In the stomach proper, caused by
the perforation of the bullet, are now
considered by Dr. MCBurney and his
associates as healed, and the eminent
surgeon pointed to the fact that the
beef juice, fed to the patient last night,
was readily digested, as proof of this.
Sufficient time has also elapsed to war
rant the doctors in asserting that the
danger of inflammation where the bul
let lodged has disappeared. It ie be
lieved that the ball has now become en-
the muscles of the back, and
unless its location should prove trou
blesome later on, there will never be
any necessity for removing it. Dr.
Mann, in speaking in regard to this,
to-day said he knew a man who lived
for years with a bullet in the muscles
of his heart.
The attention of the physicians is
now, therefore, mainly directed to the
care and treatment of the wound
caused by the incision made in the
abdomen above the navel when the
operation was performed. This wound
Is progressing satisfactorily.
Dressing Was a HeneHt.
"Decided benefit followed the dress
ing of the wound last night,” is the
way the doctors put It officially. The
slight scare which followed the an
nouncement at midnight last night of
the opening of the wound did not have
a leg to 6tand on to-day, when fuller
details of its insignificant character
were obtained. “The incident." as it
is termed, would not have beet! men
tioned in the history of an ordinar
hospital case and the physicians last
night debated for some time upon the
propriety of making it public. As they
had promised to take the public Into
their congdence they finally concluded
that the redemption of that pledge
compelled them to announce it. Their
frankness has already had one excel
lent effect. It has convinced all who
may still have harbored doubts as to
whether the public were getting the
whole truth from the sick room that
their skepticism was unfounded.
Another milestone passed on the road
to recovery was the discontinuance to.
day by the doctors of the figures show
ing respiration variations in their of
ficial bulletins.
The President now breathes deeply
and normally and the addition of the
respiration was considered valueless In
the bulletins. The President's pulse
was slightly accelerated in the after
noon, but the change was not deemed
material and his temperature remained
practically stationary at 100.2 from
daylight until dark. The evidences of
improvement Were the President's keen
relish of the beef juice given him dur
ing the night and the increase in his
allowance from one to three teaspoon
fuls, and also the fact that the wound
Is becoming “more healthy.”
Dr. Mcßurney explained this after
noon that the slight irritation of the
wound still remaining should pass
away within the next twenty-four
hour*. .
Tn Excellent Spirltn.
The President continues in. excellent
spirits, but he confessed to one Of the
attendants to-day that he was getting
lonesome. H"e requested that he be
placed in another bed. A depression
had formed in the mattress on which
h" had lain since he was taken to the
Jlilburn home and had caused some
discomfort. Another bed was provided,
and this evening he was carefully mov-
f l '! from one to the other without diffl
tulty. He has asked several times if
there was any news which he
should know, but Inquiries, especially
about public matters, are discouraged
and the rigid Inhibition against the ad
mission of anyone except his wife and
'aithful secretary has not been relaxed.
It is now virtually decided that no at
tempt will be made to remove the
President to Washington until he has
completely recovered, and In a general
"ay it can be said that there is no like
lihood that this will be until October.
The physicians are all agreed that
do attempt should be made to take the
President to Washington while the
Probability of an oppressive hot spell
in the capita) city remained.
Mrs. McKinley still displays the same
fortitude she has shown since the trag
edy occurred. She went out fdr a drive
again to-day and appeared bright and
' heerful. The five members of the cab
inet who are here talked over pending
public questions for over an hour to
day at the Glenny House, adjoining the
Milburn residence, but it is understood
that no action resulted. The South
American situation was gone over and
there was an, exchange of opinion re
garding the legal phases of the case
gainst the would-be assassin. It can
d’ stated again In the most positive
m anner that there Is no conflict of au
thority between the state and federal
authorities for the possession of the
prisoner. The members of the cablnst.
Attorney General Knox and Secretary
,: ‘ge. as well as those who are here,
unanimously of the opinion that
Oolfosa's offense is against
Jiatatinalj iliornintj ffoto£
the state of ' New York
and Erie county, and that there
is no federal statute to cover the case.
District Attorney Penney consulted
Secretary Hoot to-day as to the pro
cedure. He did not secure Mr. Root's
opinion as secretary of war, but as one
of the ablest lawyers in New York
slate. It is understood that the local
authorities are only waiting the result
of the shot to formulate their charge
against the assailant of the President.
After this afternoon’s bulletin Sec
retary Hay announced that he felt
warranted in leaving for Washington
and he left to-night for the capital.
Character of the Irritation.
Dr. Mcßurney to-day explained the
character of the irritation which had
maije the jeopening of the incision nec
essary.
"It was caused," he said, "just as
we stated, by the fact that a piece of
the President's coat was carried into
the body by the bullet—not far, not
over an inch. The bullet then slipped
on through the fat. The fragment ot
the coat was, of course, removed when
the operation was performed, but every
surgeon understands that even though
every foreign particle is removed, tis
sues exposed to contamination are apt
to show irritation. That was so in this
cas§. When the stitches were taken out
the wound opened of itself.”
“Was any foreign substance found
within?"
“Not a particle,” he answered em
phatically. “The wound was not again
sewed up,” he added, “It will close and
heal by granulation.”
“Is the opening of wounds after
such an operation unusual?” he was
asked.
“Not in gunshot,wounds where for
eign substances can be carried into
the body,” he replied. “Wherever con
tamination is possible that is liable to
occur. Of course in cases of simple
operations, where clean instruments
are used, nothing of the sort should
happen. When this Irritation occurs
pus or serum is sometimes found when
the wound is opened.”
“Was any pus found in this ease?”
“No, not a suggestion of pus. There
was a thin fluid exuded as a result of
the inflammation, as was to be ex
pected.”
Dr. Mcßurney said that the interior
wounds had healed. That, he said,
was proved by' the manner in which
the President had digested the beef
juice given to him last night. He said
the President had relished the nourish
ment given him and that to-morrow
he would be given white of egg and
perhaps something else.
Dr. Mann, who performed the orig
inal operation last Friday, and who did
the dressing of the wound last night,
concurred in the expression of confi
dence which the other doctors had
given.
“What was done last night,” said
Dr. Mann, “was merely the usual
dressing of the Incision of the abdo
men requisite to keep it in proper con
dition. The incision is about five
inches in length just above the navel,
horizontal and In line with the body.
There is no cross Incision. The cut
was laid open carefully and some anti
septic gauze inserted. The results were
entirely satisfactory.”
Tlm WohikU Av tifrnnitf. —
Dr. Mann was asked as to the rela
tion of the outer incision-to the inner
wounds of the stomach*
“They are quite separate,”- said he.
"The wounds of the stomach are those
made by the bullet, while the other In
cision* was that required by the surgi
cal operation immediately after the
shooting. As to the wounds of the
stomach, they were closed during the
operation, and' now sufficient time has
elapsed to permit the sutures to heal
by natural process. That this is pro
gressing nicely is evident from the res
toration of the normal digestive pro
cesses. Until last night we had not
permitted food to enter the stomach by
way of the mouth. But the adminis
tration of beef Juice has proved so sat
isfactory that we have doubled the
amount and will add the white of eggs.
He is receiving as much as three and
four teaspoonsfuls of beef juice an
hour and this will be gradually in
creased.”
THE BEST NEWS GIVEN YET.
Physicians Leave the House In Con
fidence and Cheer.
Buffalo, Sept. 11.—The night consul
tation of the physicians furnished in
some respects the most reassuring
news which has yet come from the sick
room. A microscopic count of the
blood had been made during the day
by Dr. Wasdin. At the evening con
ference the result was submitted and
found to be perfectly satisfactory.
There had been no abnormal increase
of white corpuscles, such as would
have existed had blood poisoning set in
and the doctors had the satisfaction ot
announcing officially that the count of
the blood corroborated the clinical evi
dence of the absence of any blood pois
oning.
The President was bathed and given
nourishment while all the doctors were
present and afterwards was placed in
his new bed.
The members of the cabinet were
all below stairs while the consultation
was in progress and remained until
after the bulletin was prepared and is
sued. They were so elated over the im
provement in the Presidnt's condition
and the absence of any unfavorable
symptoms that Secretary Root an
nounced that he felt free to depart and
that he had decided to go to New York
to-morrow.
The physicians did not begin to leave
the Milburn residence until shortly be
fore 11 o'clock. T>e reports which
they had to communicate could hardly
have been more gratifying than they
were. Dr. Wasdin and Dr. Mynter
came out together. The latter was
hemmed In on all sides by the eager
newspaper men.
••Good News! Gooil News”
“Good news! Good news!" he cried;
“nothing but good news. '
“We have washed and fed the Presi
dent and moved him to another bed.”
“Is he still improving?”
“He is. and to prove it, I desire to
say that a count of his blood shows
that it is in a normal condition, and
we feel that we can announce definite
ly that there is not the least indica
tion of blood poisoning.”
He referred the reporters to Dr.
Wasdin. of the marine hospital service,
who was standing at his side, for a
scientific interpretation. The latter
explained that a count of the blood
was a microscbpic examination of the
relative number of white and red
corpuscles in the blood to'determine
whether inflammation of any sort ex
isted. An Increase of whlte-.corpuscle*
relatively speaking would show in

EVERY MEMBER OF COURT OF IN

HOWISON TO BE CHALLENGED.
COUNSEL FOR SCHLEY WILL SAY
HE IS NOT FIT TO SERVE.
--

ic of Discussion Will Bg Objections
to the Competency o% Rear Ad
miral lluwison—These Will Be
Urged With Force—Dewey and
Benhani Will Decide the Question.
No Summons Yet Issued for Smp
son— Cook Will Be First Witness.
Washington, Sept. 11. —All the mem
bers of the Schley court of inquiry ara
now In Washington, Rear Admiral
Howison, the third member, arriving
last night. To-day Admiral Howison
paid a formal call, as required by naval
etiquette, at Admiral Dewey’s residence
on Rhode Island avenue. Admiral
Dewey, however, did not come to town
to-day, but remained in his country
home. Admiral Howison then went to
the Navy Department. He had called
upon Acting Secretary Hackett l*st
night, and the only other formal call
required of him was to visit the judge
advocate general, Capt. Lemly, which
he did. it;
Rear Admiral Howison was extreme
ly guarded in answering inquiries re
specting the court of inquiry. He said
it would not be proper to say any-
thing for publication In advance of
the meeting of the court as to his own
intentions, or the probable line of ac
tion of the court. It was evident, how
ever, that he has not in any degree al
tered his resolution to serve as a mem
ber of the court if the other members
accept his own view as to his qualifica
tions. He adheres to the views set
down In his letter to Acting Secretary
Hackett. that it is the duty of a naval
officer to accept without question a call
for service upon a court of inquiry or
courtmartlal, and although such duties
were not the sort promising pleasant
occupation, they were not to be evaded
by any act of the person whose services
is required. Therefore Rear Admiral
Howison will by no act of his seek
to escape duty on the court and if he
does not serve it will be because Ad
miral Dewey and Rear Admiral Ben
ham decide he Is disquklified to act as
an impartial judge.
Everything Is Ready.
Everything is ready for the meeting
of the court. The impression at the
Navy Department now is that the tak
ing of testimony will not begin to-mor
row, although that was the original ex
pectation. A large number of witnesses
are in Washington ready to take the
stand at a moment’s notice, but for
malities are expected to consume most
of to-morrow’s session, which, after all,
is likely to be short, owing to the late
hour of beginning. No summbns has
yet been issued for Admiral Sampson
and, it Is said, very few formal sum
mons have been issued by the depart
ment.
Although no positive statement on
that point Is made It is gathered from
the attitude of the government offi
cers that they have no present inten
tion of calling Admiral Sampson.
While observing all the forms that
are necessary to maintain the dignity
of the court, there is no disposition pn
the part of its members to try to
magnify its importance by useless
ceremony. There will be no waste of
gunpowder In salutes, nor will the
marines be tuAed out In state at the
navy yard as the three admirals make
their' way to and from the building
where the court will meet. To-mor
row they will go to the navy yard
in plain clothing and thus
relieve the commandant of the. neces
sity of ordering an official salute. They
will go to the hall shortly after noon
and In the commodious retiring room
adjacent to the court room provided for'
their accommodation will array them
selves in what Is known as the naval
dress uniform. This Is not what is
known as “special full dress,” but Is
very nearly such, the main difference
consisting In the elimination of the
cocked hat. Instead Admiral Dewey
and his fellow members will wear sim
ple naval caps, although in the case'
of officers of their rank the cap is al
most encrusted with gold save on top.
They will wear the naval frock coat
and gold epaullettes and the service
sword. After the first day their uni
form will give place to the easier
though less Impressive naval undress
uniform, divested in large part of the
heavy gold trimmings of the dress suit,
and even permitting the wearing of a
comfortable blouse.
The First Session.
Precisely .at 1 o'olock the members
of the court will be seated. Admiral
Dewey at the center of the table, placed
crosswise of the courtroom, 'with Rear
Admiral Benhara on his right and Rear
Admiral Howison on his left. The wit
nesses will stand at the end of the
table next the official stenographers,
and the judge advocate. Capt. Lemly.
with Solicitor E. P. Hanna, his asso
ciate In the case, will occupy the other
end of the table. A place has been re
served for Mr. Stayton. who Is to rep
: resent certain naval officers not offi
cially named as yet. He will not be
recognized as counsel by the court,
however, until some of his clients are
involved in the case by the testimony.
At 1 o’clock, order having been call
ed, the judge, advocate will address the
court and read the precept under which
it is convened. The next step will be
the recognition .of counsel by the
court, and Capt. Lemly then will intro
duce Mr. lluiz am the official stenogra
i pher.
Objections to Howison.
Then will come the most interesting
; part of the day's proceedings, namely
| the challenging by Admiral Schley's
1 counsel of the competency of Rear Ad
, miral Howison as a member of the
i court. They will reiterate the charge
| as to the expression of opinion adverse
; to Admiral Schley said to have been
; expressed by Rear Admiral Howison,
and it will be the object of counsel to
support this charge by affidavits and
perhaps by oral testimony. It Is for
the court to say whether such testi
mony will be admitted, and the expec
tation is that an hour or two will be
consumed in argument by counsel di
rected to the two members of the court
ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY,
President of the Court.
whose competency is not questioned.
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral Ben
ham will then retire and determine
whether or not the statements present
ed are sufficient to make manifest the
incompetency of Rear Admiral Howl
son. There will be no appeal from
the decision by the court on this point.
Even the Secretary of the Navy could
I not undo its work.
Capt. Francis A. Cook, who com
manded the Brooklyn during the West
Indian campaign, probably will be the
first witness.
Admiral Schley’s counsel to-night
completed the formal challenge to Ad
miral Howison. This is a very brief
document, and according to counsel,
will be supported by several witnesses
who will be ready to appear to-morrow,
including Mr. Frost, of the Boston
Record, which printed the Interview of
Admiral Howison.
The names of the other witnesses,
who are expected by the counsel of
Admiral Schley to substantiate the au
thenticity of the Howison interview,
and who are expected to arrive In the
city by to-morrow morning, are with
held, pending their appearance before
the court.
SAMPSON’S HEALTH NOT CHANGED.
Beyer Would Not Say He Would At

Boston, Sept. 11.—Dr. Henry G. Bey
er, chief surgeon at the Charlestown
navy yard, returned from his visit to
Admiral Sampson tlhs morning.
He said Admiral Sampson's condition
was about the same as When be left
the yard. He would not state whether
the Admiral would attend the court
of Inquiry, or If he would return to
the yard to take up his duties.
WELLINGTON WAS FIRED.
Expelled From Union League of
Maryland by Dlreetors.
Baltimore, Sept. 11.—At a meeting
to-night of the Board of Governors of
the Union League of Maryland resolu
tiontions were adopted expelling Sena
tor George L. Wellington from mem
bership in the organization.
The resolutions after referring to the
attempting assassination of President
McKinley by Czolgosz state that "the
people of Maryland have learned With
shame and loathing that George L.
Wellington, a representative of this
state In the Senate of the United
States, has countenanced the act of
this traitor to his country and enemy
of mankind by repeated and public
expressions of indifference to the act
or its results.”
The resolutions order that the Sen
ator be expelled in consequence of
thepe statements.

PORT KOVAL SINCE JUNE 10.
A GHASTLY DISCOVERY.
WHITE FUNGI OF MINES COVERED
THE EXPOSED BODIES.

Thirteen Killed in a Mine Explosion
Three Months Ago—Efforts to Re
cover Bodies Have Been Continued
Since, and the Daring Work at
Last Crowned With Partial Suc
cess—Relict ed the Remaining Six
Bodies Will Be Found To-day.
Rescuers Crawled on Hands snd
Knees to Kesch Decomposing
Bodies of Their Friends.
Connellsville, Pa., Sept. 11.—Th
long continued efforts of the daring
rescue party at Port Royal were
crowned with success to-day. Seven of
the thirteen bodies that have been en
tombed since June 10, when the explo
sion in the coal mine of the Pittsburg
Coal Company took place, wer recov
ered and brought to the bottom ot
No. 1 shaft. There is little doubt but
that the remaining six bodies will be
recovered to-morroV.
The party proceeded down No. 20 en
try, which they found free from gas
except In one place, where a pocket
had collected near the arched roof.
Here the brave men crawled on their
hands and knees. Where the tracks
curve from No. 20 entry to No. 5 face
the first of the bodies were sighted.
The death chamber was at last opened
and the secret kept closed for three
months brought to light.
The spectacle was a most gruesome
one. - Side by side were the' first two
bodies. The white fungi of mines, daz
zling in Us brilliancy, which covers any
object that gives out moisture, covered
the exposed portions of the dead. Their
hands, swollen by decomposition, were
coated to a depth of two Inches with
this fungi, and they seemed three limes
thejr antural size.
The rescue party proceeded about
fifty feet further, when another body
was found. This was near a partly
finished brattice. In one hand a hatch
et was grasped, while in the was
a rusty saw. The miner had evidently
, been surprised at his work by the sec
ond explosion.
More than a hundred feet beyond
this man the four others were found
ia a group- They had evidently fojjen
at the, game tlrqe, for their bodies were
(Jgite close together, in the hand of
each was a safety\lamp. Some thy on
their faces and some on their sides.
At the end of the room the gas was
encountered ahd the men returned. Not
one of the bod;_.i could be recognized
by the face or form. Decomposition
had destroyed all the features. The
only hope is in the clothes and con
tents of the pockets.

So Shaffer Says of the Steel Workers*
Strike.
Pittsburg, Sept. 11.—While stories of
a peaceful settlment of the strike of
the Amalgamated Association were
heard to-day with much force and per
sistency, President Shaffer continued
to deny them emphatically and said
that the battle of the steel workers
woifld go on until they won.
He denied that the Executive Board
had instructed him to settle the strike
on any terms and said that he would
not go to New York or make any fur
ther peace move for the present.
While the president of the Amalga
mated Association was standing in
this position the officials of the steel
corporations were putting forth actual
efforts to start their plants. This
was particularly the case on the South
Side. During to-day the company held
the strikers' pickets back by a show
of police, and got a lot of provisions,
cooking utensils and cots for the men
to sleep on into the Monongahela plant
of the American Tin Plate Company.
It was officially anonunced at the same
time that there was an ample number
of men ready to enter the plants and
start the mills as soon as they are In
readiness.
While the strikers were busy watch
ing these movements on the South
Side, the officials of the same company
showed greater activity about the Star
mills. About 11 o'clock In the morning
a car loaded with skilled men for the
Star plant arrived tn the union station.
These men were taken to the plant
without any Interference. The efforts
to-day. it is believed, have practically
ended all possibilities of the Amalga
mated Association ever getting back
the Star mills Into their control, as
the men who have gone to work there
have declared their Intention of re
maining as individuals for all time.

TO KILL CHAMBERLAIN.
Man Accused of Murder Reveals an
Alleged Plot.
London. Sept. 11.—Marshal Faugeron.
a Frenchman, who was charged to
day at .Clerkenwell Police Court with
the murder of Herman Jung, an old
Jeweler of Clerkenwell. about ten days
ago, told a remarkable story of a plot
to kill Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary.
Faugeron said he had been the recip
ient of small loans from Jung. The
day of the murder Jung summoned him
to his shop, where they discussed the
misery caused by the South African
war, for which, Jung declared. Mr.
Chamberlain was responsible, and Jung
told Faugeron that If he could kill Mr.
Chamberlain, he, Jung, through Inter
mediaries, would guarantee him a for
tune, tendering him £lO to buy good
clothes in order to enable him to ap
proach his victim.
Faugeron says he refused, where
upon Jung declared he should not
leave the shop alive and picking up a
heavy Iron, rushed on Faugeron and
felled him to the ground. Faugeron,
in self-defepse drew a knife and stab
bed his assailant In the neck.
The prisoner, who signed the fore
going statement, was committed for
trial.
Jung was a noted Socialist, the last
survivor of the group of which Carl
Marx wgs a member. They formed
the Red Internationale In London In
1884. Ip spite of Jung's reputation of
earlier years of being a violent and
desperate Red, personally he was a
quiet and skillful organizer, and was
never specially connected with any of
the arts of violence In which his re
puted disciples were involved.

being decorated with bunting and the
crews manning their sides. The Ho
renzollern, with their Imperial majes
ties on the imperial bridge, steamed
slowly between the lines, following by
the Standart and her escort. The two
yachts anchored at the heads of the
respective lines, after which the ad
mirals and principal officers of the
squadron went on board the Hohenzol
lern and were presented to the Czar.

Chicago, Sept. 11.—Magistrate Prin
divllle to-day decided that Emma
Goldman, the anarchistic lecturer un
der arrest here, should be held without
bail until Friday, pending the decision
of Bimilar cases in the Superior Court. .
Mias Goldman appeared for a hear
ing before the magistrate during the.
forenoon. She had not secured counsel,
but in a determined voice declared that
she was ready to act as her own attor
ney. The assistant city prosecutor,
however, obtained a continuance of the
hearing until Sept. 19, the date set for
the hearing of the other anarchists in
custody here. Mr. Owens, the prosecu
tor, stated that the result of an Inves
tigation at Buffalo was being awaited.
The court postponed its decision In
the matter of bail, which Miss Gold
man demanded the privilege of furnish
ing, until later In the day. While
waiting, Judge Chetlain In the Superior
Court held the other anarchists until
Friday, when, he said, he would
arguments in the application for writs
of habeas corpus. As the charge
against Miss Goldman, "conspiracy
to murder President McKinley,”
is the one lodged - against
the local anarchists, who are flamed
as co-conspirators with Miss Goldman,
Magistrate Prlndlvllle thought It. wise
to await the decision of the higher
court. He said it would not be necessa
ry for counsel to apply for a writ for
Miss Goldman, as he would deal ex
actly with Miss Goldman as Judge
Chetlain did with the other prisoners.
Miss Goldman was represented by
.Lawyers Brown, Geetipg and Saltiel.
They were busy in the habeas corpus
cqse during the forenoon, but inter
viewed their client In time to appear
for her in th hearing on the matter of
ball.
Lawyer Gee ting, in pleading for the
prisoner, said:
Lawyers Plead for Ball,
“This matter must be disposed of
according to well known rules of law.
When a party is brought Into court
charged with any criminal offense, that
party has a right to an immediate
hearing. Section 7. •Article 2 of the
Constitution of Illinois declares that all
persons shall be bailable by sufficient
sureties, except for capital offense,
where the proof is evident and the pre
sumption great. In this case, the affi
davit filed does not conform with the
law, because the law requires an oral
examination, the affidavit to be based
on the oral examination. It should be
on personal knowledge as to the facts."
Counsel then contended that none of
these constitutional requirements had
been complied with in the case of Miss
Goldman.
In deciding the case Magistrate
Prlndlvllle said he did not want to
take any action which might be con
trary to the decision to be arrived at
by the upper court, and said he would
admit Miss Goldman to bail if Judge
Chetlain admitted the other prisoners
to ball. Attorney Geeting protested,
insisting that under the law, the
amount of bail should be indorsed on
the commitment.
Miss Goldman appeared In the court
at 9:30 a. m. under the escort of
Matron Keegan. She seemed surprised
that no lawyer was there to take up
her defense, and glanced uneasily
about the room, full of uncouth pris
oners and curious spectators. She
asked for Messrs. Saltiel and Brown.
They were not in court and Justice
Prlndlvllle said he would wait a rea
sonable time for them to appear.
Although the telephone was kept
busy, an hour elapsed and the law
yers were still absent. Chief of Detec
tives Colleran then demanded that the
hearing should proceed. It took only
a few minutes and then Miss Goldman
was led back to her room In the wo
men's annex. She looked tired and
nervous. When Prosecutor Owens re
peated the charge against her she
flushed and then smiled.
When the defendant was escorted
back to the court room Justice Prin
dlville said to her:
“Your lawyers do not seem to be In
clined to come.”
Miss Goldman: “I learn that they
are very busy with the other cases, so
we will leave it. It doesn’t matter. I
can take charge of the case myself.”
Prosecutor Owens: "I renew my mo
tion to continue the case until the 19th,
and that she be held without bail."
Miss Goldman demanded a hearing
and asked that she be admitted to
bail.
The court (to Mr. Owens): “Why do
you want a continuance?”
She Is the Arch Conspirator.
Mr. Owens: “The absence of material
witnesses. I propose to show that Em
ma Goldman conspired together with
the other nine defendants to assassin
ate President McKinley, and until such
time as we receive further information
from Buffalo, t ask that your honor
continue this case until the 19th, to
gether with all the other defendants.
She is charged with conspiracy to kill,
and If President McKinley dies she will
be an accessory before the fact and the
principal and will be just as guilty as
Czolgosz It is a capital offense and I
do not think the offense is bailable un
der the circumstances of the case."
The Court: “Well. I will continue It
until the 19th. What have you to say
about the bail part of It, Miss Gold
man ?** '
Miss Goldman: "I want to be put
under ball, as I asked, because I be
lieve the case is a trumped-up charge
and has no evidence whatever."
Mr. Owens: “Your Honor, all the
