its feelings concerning the con.

and opinions were lnduigeo III
and gwen without reservation.
The constables stood immovable
as the sphinx and paid not the
slightest attention to what was
being said. The crowd became
boider and cried "Outrage," Coun-
trymen,o ssTillman,s fools," and
the like. One man got up and
said:
aWe are living in the free United
States of America and Russia isn't
a marker to this"
Then the crowd cried out
aRussia! Russia ="
They pressed about the door,
and one man in the crowd eviden-
tly an Italian, saw Chicco's little
daughter in the store crying, and
stepped to the door to speak, to
her, instead, one of Chico's
assistants came to the door and
began a conversation in Italian.
At this Chief Constable Gaillard
came to the door and taking the
man by his coat lapel, pushed him
outin the crowd, saying at the
same time.
ST have told you people to keep
away from here and 1 mean to see
that you do it. Men, I was born
and raised here in Charleston l
am doing my duty. I have asked
you to keep back like gentlemen,
if you don't do itI will have it
done. I have sent to Mr.. Martin
to see if If I can geta policeman,
instead of wooden man. This
officer could keep this street clear
ifhe only halt tried. I'll was q
policeman I could do it."
At this another of the constables
said. "Men, we are just doing our
duty. We are seeing that the law
ss obeyed, that's all. There is not
a man in this crowd that l don't
like, but 1 tell you we are not going
to give back a single lnch."
At that moment a reporter asked
Mr.. Gaillard if he would permit
him to see the papers for publica-
tion. To this Mr.. Gaillard posi-
lively refused to assent. He refused
to impart any information what
ever.
When asked if he would say
what the next arrests would be, he
said:
II suppose you think Pm insane?
You would think so, if told you
that wouldn't you?"
Then short conference was
held between the constables and
Chicco's attorney, Mr.. Bissell,
which resulted III the drays being
unloaded and the vermicell being
restored to The establishment.
WANTED TO RUN THE FORCE.
The crowd that hung around
the neighborhood, and frequently
ssassed the door of Chicco's place,
evidently worried the constables,
and they approached Lieut.
Mollenhauer, who was sitting on
his horse near by and instructed
him to clear the street. Lieut.. Mol
lenhauer declined to be instructed
in his duties, and let the constables
know that, as long as the citizens
did not obstruct tbe sidewalk, or
actually interfere with them, he
would not make any arrests.
