One Man Rolled in the Mud, and Another
Thrown Against Barbed Wire Fence
Woman Assaulted and Her Hat and
Jacket Torn to Picces-Police Have to
Use Clubs Freely toliescue the Victims
from the Eowdics.
BosToN, April 24.-Superintendent of
Police Eldridge estimated that there were
fully $1,000 people on Boston common to
see the start of the Industrial army for
Washington. It was exactly l O'Clock
when the army, consisting of about 2o0
men, who had enlisted With General NJ ID.
Fitzgerald, left the Eqdity Union on Pine
street to escort Lucifn Saniel of New
York and Morrison Swft to the common,
where grand meeting was to be held.
No sooner had they reathed the common
than the rougher elcrRent of the crowd
began what was to them a ''grcat ioiIy.n
and what came near ending in n bloody
riot, and which did prove to be one of the
most disgrace:ul affairs that has ever ha,,-
pened here.
Rolled Swift in the Mud.
The crowd closed in On the men, seized
their banners and proceeded 20 roll Mr..
swift around in the mud. Things did not
take on "A serious turn at that time, how
ever, and General Fitzgerald succeeded in
getting lis men TO the band stand. where
Mr.. Swift began to talk to the vast ASSEM-
blage. His speech did not amount to
much, however, and he soon gave WHY to
Lucien Saniel of New York, whose ap-
pearance had been wen advertised Ii
Mr.. Saniel had "a hard time trying to
make IA speech it is nothing compared to
the time he had with the mob He tried
hard for five minutes to make himself un-
derstood: then he called on the police to
quiet the mob, bat they paid no attention
To him. Then Mr. Swift stepped to the
front of the stand and. warned the officers
that surrounded the stand that they alone
would be responsible for the results should
there be loss of life and properly.
Rush Made Tor the stand.
That was the signal for n rush on the
stand Crasbi went the fence that sur
rounded the bandstand and in went the
mob, the ten policemen, unabla to do any
thing With the mob, being forced along
with the rest Several of the leaders
grabbed Saniel and carried him out into
the midst of the mob. Right near the
stand is an Enclosure surrounded by "A
barbed wire fence, and they started to
throw their helpless victim into tins in
"
top OF the fence they let bIm fall on the
barbed wire, terribly laceratiug his hands
and tearing his clothes and body. Then
came n scene that almost defies descrip-
tion. To the right of the bandstand and
about 400 feet away some one had placed "a
dry goods box under IA tree, and Miss
Charlotte Smith of the Woman's Rescue
league, was assisted 10 mount it. She
immediately opened out on the crowd,
