Czolgosz has confessed to the police that his at- tempt upon the life of President McKinley was the result of a conspiracy in which many besides himself had a part. So far as can be learned Czolgosz has refused to mention any name except that of Emma Goldman, but papers are in existence which, if they can be discovered, will lay bare the en- | tire conspiracy, and will result in ! wholesale arrests, followed by prosecutions. Acting under instructions from Secretary Root, the police refuse the details of the confession made by Czolgosz, but in Superintend- ent Bull's office to-night The Call correspondent was told that if the would-be assassin’s con- fession were published in full, a wave of indignation against an- archism of the organized sort would sweep over the country which would inevitably result in serious disorders WILL PLEAD GUILTY AT TRIAL. i While Czolgosz retains his show of bravado he announces his determination of entering a plea of guilty when he is brought to trial. He says that he knows full well that he is at the mercy of society, which he detests, for which reason he will make no RON | ‘4 i | ‘ . e ‘\fight in the courts, but will en~[ |ter as soon as possible upon his | | punishment. 1 | Society may well congratulate‘ |itself that the life of Czolgoézé {was not stamped out by the fren- | zied mob that sought to kill him | | the moment after he had fired the RSP TIRSICS N Siins: » i to als |second bullet at President Mc\'; |Kinley.

Secret Service agents have learned that early in July Emma Goldman visited the Free Socie- ty in Chicago, making her home while there with the Tsaak fam- ily. On July 13 Czolgosz called ! at the Isaak home and talked with Emma Goldman and with Abraham Isaak.
