A Determined and Desperate
Mob After a Murderer.
Great Excitement Prevailing in
Cincinnati. :
Troops Ordered Out to Quell
the Riot.
Murmurs of he Mob.

people gathered at Music hall in respons,
to a call by reputable citizens, to take ac
ton IN the Berner verdict. Many could
not get in. Strong resolutions wert
adopted, condemning the verdict, and q
committee on legislation appointed. Upon
adjournment a vast crowd moved directly
to the Jail, where they began an attack on
the front door. At $40 a riot alarm was
sounded, sunmoning the entire police
force to the Jail, vast crowds gathering
in that vicinity. Berner was removed
after his sentence this afternoon and is
now on his way to Columbus, but if the
mob gets in the other murderers will be
lynched. The police, pom arriving in
the vicinity of the Jail, commanded the
crowd to move, and not being obeyed they
fired, but as no one was hurt it was pre-
sumed the police fired in the air. 1t is
said that it is the intention of the police,
they being deeply in sympathy with the
movement, to condemn the outrageous
Berner verdict. A shot or two was fred
from the Jail, but the crowd refuses to
move. They have a good leader and are
still no p, M at work at the jail door.
