Judge Barnard Not finding MIR HarkinS,
the roughs, who carried their cooked revolvers
from the moment they obtained entrance to
the theatre made rush at the carpenters
who were arranging scene, the latter telling
them to go away. Neatly the the whole corps
of actors and actresses had been attractt to
the spot by the rowdy movements and loud
curses of the roughs, who appeared infuriated
at not finding Harkins, who had escaped by
jumping over the orchestra, and making for
the street. AS the actors stood in body, the
fellows fred two or three volleys from their
revolvers into their midst, badly wounding
Stephen Wilson the property man, in three
