Some jumped over tables and chairs, barricad- ing themselves behind them; others crouched behind the walls, counters, doorway, aud shooting nobody ventnred out on the street.
 The groans of the dying men arose above the heavy shuffling of feet, and, to add to the agony, the cries of women, relatives of officers reported to have been wounded, could be heard from an outer room, beyond which the women were not permitted to enter.
