Lieut.. Page when the Ninth regiment COM
menced an indiscriminate fire without Or
ders. The Ninth fell back, crowding the
Seventh on the pavement. The firing was
kept up for some time, though an adiutant
begged Lieut.. Col. Brain to hold his men
In.
When the Seventh regiment reached the
corner of Twenty-seventh street, shots were
fired from a window. A single shot was
fired at the window by soldier acting un-
der orders. Several more shots were fired
from the same spot; whereupon several
volleys were fired into the window. This,
Col. Clarke claims, was all the firing done
by the Seventh.
The Twenty-second regiment did not fire
shot.
The members of the Ninth say they fired
no shot till young Page was killed.
Several futile attempts at riot were made
during the night, but they were easily sup
pressed. 4r.
