EMMA, an American anarchist; born in Russia about 1868; emigrated to the United States and joined various anarchist societies; was arrested several times, and imprisoned for a year in New York City because of her destructive teachings. According to CZOLGOSZ (q. v.) her speeches incited him to assassinate President McKinley. In 1917 she was arrested for conspiracy and sentenced to two years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $10,000. She appealed to U. S. Supreme Court, which confirmed the sentence in January, 1918. In February of that year she began her term in the prison at Jefferson City, Mo. Under the Alien law a second conviction for conspiracy carries with it the sentence of deportation and she was shipped to Russia with other Anarchists in 1920.
