upon Samuel Conrad and William Con-

arrested and tried. They were acquitted.
The verdict, which seems to have been
thoroughly in accord with the evidence,
was unpopular. especially among the rough
element Discussion over the trial resulted
In the fermen tation Of sentiment among the
hoodlums. and IT was finally decided that
the jury did not know what II was doing.
Then lynchfng party was organized, and
