Frick had a private painting collection (p. 244). Frick confided that he saw his dead daughter Martha after Berkman fired the first shot (p. 247). It seems that both Fedya and Goldman were encouraging Berkman to kill himself, during prison, purely for the action’s propaganda value (p. 249). Berkman kept notebooks full of statistics from what he can gather from prison (pp. 252-253). Goldman spent the 1890s fighting for Berkman’s release (p. 258). Goldman’s public role; she wouldn’t condemn assassination or deny the value of propaganda by the deed (p. 259). The Anarchists saw themselves as avengers practicing a kind of wild justice (p. 260).
