Browne appeared cast down and
crushed when he appeared at the door
of his cell, in reply to a reporters
knock. He was asked If he desired to
make statement.
II don't wish to say anything until /
hear from the American people," was
his response.
Citizen Jones heard the answer of the
marshal and replied similarly.
After the disturbance had passed
away there was conference between
the local prosecuting attorney and the
police authorities as to the trial of the
two prisoners, Browne aud Jones. As
sistant Attorney Mullowney conferred
with Maj. Moore, chief of police, and
1t was decided the two men should be
arraigned tomorrow before Judge
Miller, of the police court. Considera-
ton was next given to the charge to be
brought against the prisoners, and Mr..
MullOwney decided to make the charge
OIL the broad ground of violation of
the United States statutes. 1t was so
entered in the blotfer of the station.
Under this allegation specific charges
will be made OF entering the capitol
grounds uulawfuliy and of disorderly
conduct.
Mr. MullowneY also directed the Off
GERS NOT to accept collateral in lieu of
bail. Brownies attorney was told that
at any time bail was ready Judge Miller
would fix the amount and the clerk of
the court would make out the papers
necessary to release the prisoners from
custody.
Mr.. LYMAN said he expected to secure.
bail without trouble He was asked
as to
THE LINE OF DEFENSE.
I'VE will not only Defend" said he.
'but we may also adopt affirmative
action through TIL. courts. The first
thing will be to defend the prisoners
against the charge that they unIawfully
entered the capitol grounds. That in
Wolves a test of the law forbidding
peaceable assemblies in the capitol
grounds, and we will take that law TO
the courts of last resort. Then the
Affirmative action will depend on cir
cumstanceS. but it is certain that if
Browne or Jones have been injured in
any way some one will have to make
ample reparalion."
THE POLICE
in and about the capitol grounds showed
admirable temper ana seif-coatrol for
the most part throughout the day The
critical period was when CoXey made
MS way up to the capitol steps. He
would have been roughly handled and
lostled from the eager curiosity of the
crowd, had it not been for the care of
the police. A mounted policeman was
on each side of him as he came I'D to
the steps and made a way for him
through the surging crowd which had
recognized him, his gray suit, bronZed
features and large eyeglasses making
him conspicuous. During his colloquy
with Lieut.. Kelly and Capt. Garden,
the police had to resort to pretty active
measures to keep the crowd back.
COXEY OFFERED NO PHYSICAL RESIST.
ANCE
to the officers as he was escorted off the
capitol grounds, and apparently was not
perturbed in the slightest degree. As
CoXey came back to the waiting army
and got into his buggy the excited
crowd closed around the white stallion
ON which his daughter rode and thrust
up their hands for her to shake. She
smilingly accepted the ciyiiity with no
apparent fear of harm from the mob
that snrged about her without him
drance. There were probably 1O,oCO
people in the crowd that was wedged
about the army, and when the process
siOu started again it scattered the crowd
with wild rush, and in halt hour or
SO after the army had marched away the
crowd had melted away
