1914.07.25: Berkman: "WILL BLAME AUTHORITIES IF HARM COMES TO REBA"

July 25, 1914


WILL BLAME AUTHORITIES IF HARM COMES TO REBA

Should "anything happen" to Reba Edelson, the anarchist, now on a hunger strike at Blackwells Island, Alexander Berkman, anarchist leader says his organization will hold the authorities "morally and legally responsible." Should she die, the authorities will be blamed for her "murder." "they are not dealing with ane Est (who was sent to Matteawan when she went on a hunger strike) when they have Reba Edelson on their hands," says Berkman. "Miss Edelson is not a girl, but a determined woman."
