OUTSIDE SCENES.
TIE mob which gathered in Avenue A was excited
BY some of the old policemen, several of whom were
seen in different parts of the crowd excalmDg that
Miller the man who was killed, was victim OF
the Metropolitan Police; and that since the law had
been declared constitutional the people had no safety
This lesson seemed to be well learned by the igno-
rant: even the women and children were declaimng
against the tyranny of Gov King and denouncing the
Metropotans. One woman had crowd gathered
around her and made kind Of speech, half in Ger
man and half in English, 10 which she declared that
she saw the Police shoot Miller, and that, not content
with this, they fell upon him and beat him without
mercy after he was down. 6 And this, che con-

would be killed.
