Emma Goldman defends herself and Alexander Berkman, a felow anarchist, after they
were arrested upon evidence of their and-government stances, found in the publications
Mother Earth and The Blast published by Gokiman and Berkman, respectively
adapted from Address to the Jury (1917)
by Emma Goldman
The methods employed by Marshal McCarthy and his hosts of heroic warriors were
sensational enough to satisfy the famous circus men, Barnum & Baley Adoren or more
heroes dashing up two flights of stairs, prepared to stake their lives for their country, only
to discover the two dangerous disturbers and troublemakers Alexander Berkman and
Emma Goldman, in their separate offices, quiedy at work at their desks, wiekding not a
sword, nor a gun or a bomb, but merely their penal Truthfully, it required courage to catch
such big fish
To be sure, two officers equipped with a warrant would have sufficed to carry out the
business of arresting the defendants Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman Even the police know that neither of them is in the habit of running away or hiding under the bed But the larce-comedy had to be properly staged if the Marshal and the Destrict Atomey were to earn immortality Hence the sensational arrest, hence, also, the raid upon the offices of THE BLAST, MOTHER EARTH and the No-Conscripoon League
in their zeal to save the country from the troublemakers, the Marshal and has helpers did not even consider & necessary to produce a search warrant Ater all, what matters anmere scrap of paper when one is called upon to raid the offices of Anarchists! Of what consequence is the sanctity of property, the right of privacy, to officials in their dealings
with Anarchists! In our day of military training for bamle, and Anarchist office is an
appropriate camping ground. Would the gendemen who came with Marshal McCarthy have dared to go into the offices of Morgan, of Rockefeller, or of any of those men without a search warrant? They never showed us the search warrant, although we asked them for & Nevertheless, they turned our office into a bartefield, so that when they were
through with it looked like invaded Belgium, with the only difference that the invaders
&, were not Prussian barbarians but good American patriots bent on making New York safe for democracy
