arm to be more profsne than polite; bat

pressed opinions Of some, all the eleven
prisoners who were let cut on 800 bail on

They did not seem at all scared, and every
one Of them looked and acted ike a gentle
man. Many people in Bridgeport who had
not seen them before, expressed great sur
prise at the fine, intelligent appearance OF

sequence OF the outbreak over the river has
about quoted down, but interest in tue out.
cone of the trial and the condition OF the
wounded men is still maintained. Quite q
number of mill men and others went over
20 Bridgeport in the afternoon to hear the
evidence to be adduced atthe trial, but they
returned on the announcement that the hear
ing had been postponed.
Talk Of possible troubls in this city can
still be heard on the streets, although 1t Is
difficult to see rpon just what the rep1rts
are based. 5, | rumors are clrrent, and a
or or two mills precautions are being taken
TO meet any contingency which might
