CINCINNATI, March 30.-A hand-bill was
circulated throughout the city yesterday
calling for a Vigilance Committee in every
ward to clean out the blacklegs, criminal
lawyers who debauch juries-to make a
clean sweep of vile characters and those
who pervert justice. The mob continued
frightful. Not an article about the Jail
left unbroken. At 10 o'clock last night 81
alarm of fire was given a few squares from
the Courthouse, a building that cost
$3.50, 900, containing important archives,
and the second best law library in the
United States. The crowd overawed the
iremen and killed Officer Desmond, who
tried to put out the flames, started with
coal oil. 1t was a night OF blood and
horror, such as Cincinnati never knew
before.
la. M.-Everything in a chaotic state.
The mob is standing massed in front of
soldiers guns, apparently counting death
"a typical crowd of madmen. There is
no cessation OF firing, and the mob is re-
ported to have cannon and dynamite. Men
are falling dead or wounded every few
minutes.
The fugitive Berner was landed in the
Columbus penitentiary at 10 o'clock last
night, after an eventful career of "a hours.
He was overtaken in the woods, and in dis
guise spirited into prison by the aid Of
journalistic correspondents from a point a
half mile out Of town; he was taken in on
the run. With a mob at his heels every
where, and boiling for his blood, he re-
joiced when he got behind the bars.
March 3d. P. M.-Two regiments ar
rived and ordered to proceed by indirect
routes to the Jail. The order modified on
information that the streets are blocked
with people and appeared impossible with
out slaughter.
March 1920 A. M.-Startling fact
just announced that the mob have three
cannon posted, awaiting the arrival of
Fourteenth Regiment, which is instantly
| expected. Instead of fight being over, looks
rs though soldiers will be overpowered by
mob. Mob firing brick-bats, and occa-
sionally discharging pistols. Lieut.. Reg
gett wounded in the leg. A chaos of re-
ports is now flying, and no definite out
come of the catastrophe can be foretold;
| but it is conceded that unless more vigor-
| GUS efforts are put forth by the State the
| end will be far off yet.
3P. M.-The mob are in possession of 8
cannon at the corner of Fourth and Wal
nut streets, but seem to have no powder.
They had many kegs of old iron, to be
used in the place of canister or grape.
They were moving up Fourth street, when
a squad Of 80 policemen emerged from the
Hammond-street Station-house, only a half
| square south of Fourth street, and by a
gallant charge, without firing, dispersed
the mob and captured all their guns.
During the attack on Powell's gun
store, Mr.. Powell defended his property,
and killed at least three men. One account
says he killed seven.
March 30.-3:45 A. Mn the Ham
ilton County Jail comparative quiet
is restored. The mob are dispersed.
The dead are still lying on the
streets in the vicinity of the con-
fiict. A safe estimate is at least from SO
to rs killed. Only a few of them, owing to
the confusion, can be identified. Three
or four slight casualties occurred in the
jail.
1.-THE Governor Sunday night ordered
all the State militia to Cincinnati-seven
regiments and five batteries. The Mayor
. OblAAA6 POh ~
citizens to organize and preserve the city.
Early Sunday night the mob fired a few
shots from q gatling u and a volley
from their guns into q Columbus regi-
ment. A number were injured. The sol.
diers fred down the streets and cleared
them. Brigg Swift, a prominent pork
packer, who was standing on a street
corner, vas shot down. Later on a mob
which had taken possession of Music Hall
and o cannon were disarmed and dis.
persed. At II o'clock Sunday night the
backbone OF the riot seemed to be broken.
Then rumors got afoat Of organized bod
les OF men preparing to join the rioters;
among the rest the Turner Society, the
German members of which were intensely
indignant over the Berner verdict. This
about them proved untrue. At 8 O'Clock
this morning there were from $500 to
5000 soldiers in Cincinnati. Among the
thieves arrested is Peggy Warren, a men,
Der of the Ohio Legislature. This epitome
fills out the history Of the insurreetion to
where it is resumed in the dispatches that
followed. SENTINEL.
CINCINNATI, March 30.-At daylight a
press reporter walked through the quarter
of the city where the stormy scenes OF the
previous night were enacted. The dawn
ing was as peaceful and brilliant as was
ever seen against the exquisitely tinted
sky in the east. The broken walls OF
the burning Courthouse were distinctly
defined, with its crumbled window open
ings, looking like rude wounds. Over
the ruins of the Tressurer's Office, in the
northern part of the building. the rudy
glow of the fire was still visible. White
colored smoke and steam were rising as the
water thrown by the engines fell into the
burning contents. Last evening when the
sun went down the occupants of the Treas
those windows would be broken and the
accumulated wealth of that great building
in ruins. But this building, great as its
loss, was merely property. The other
