The meeting was interrupted by a row in
the street and the crowd rushed out to

cursng Recorder Wilson. Sullivan
didn't want to submit to arrest but he
had to- He was sent to the barracks in
charge of Policeman Jernigan.
Ex-Policeman Kavanaugh, who ex-
pressed his opinion too freely about the
arrest was also arrested on the charge
Of disorderly conduct.
The business Of the meeting was then
resumed and Policeman Bostick was put
on the stand. He said that a body of
men formed on Liberty street and marched
up to the front door of the hall When
they were refused admittance some of
them started to so to the lane door. He
and Halford were sent there by Sergt.
Baughan. They found Officers McQuade
and Mcclure surrounded by the crowd
Hogan was on the inside. He saw little of
him afterwards. He was struck back
of the neck with a rock. The brickbats
came out of the crowd. The crowd was
bent on riot, as was evinced by their ac-
lions" he said.
This ended the evidence for the city.
Robert Brady was the first witness called
for the defense
Il am a bOilermaker," he said, "and
president Of the union. 1 was with Hogan
on the night of the riot. He was per-
fectly sober. I met him about 7l0 O'Clock
and walked to Liberty street with him,
where ] left him. Hogan said he was go
ing up to hear the lecture He is a man
of peaceable character.
Hogan was put on the stand: About
$3.50 Tuesday night" he said, Il walked
down Bull street I started TO go to the
lecture and went up in the hall. Police
man Norris told me that l could not come
in. I went back down, and afterward
came back. Mr.. NIcDermott and Mr.. Reil-
~ told me that I could not come in.

and walked TO the lane with the inten-
ton of going in. Policeman Halford and
Bostick had their pistols drawn. When

shame for the people to throw brickbats

Tom Anglin and Hogan had tickets. The
police would not let US in. I went around
TO the lane after the row was over.
When l got there Bostick had his pistol
drawn and said somebody had hit him
with a brick l tried to quiet the crowd,
and so did Hogan.
Mr.. J. ]. Sullivan did the same thing
and offered his services to get the crowd
to dispense.
Harry Gordon was put on the stand.
II was with Mr.. Hogan most of the
time Tuesday night from 9:15 until the
military started to the hall. He was not
disOrderly, and l heard him advise the
men in the lane not to throw bricks.
There were a number of people in the
rear l was there out of curiosity. 1 saw
some of the best citizens of Savannah in
the crowd. The large element of the crowd
was there from curiosity. 1 was in the
lecture hall and heard part of it. Then
/ went out. ! met Hogan al the corner
Of the lane"
Clerk Manucy was put on the stand by
Mr. Chisholm to prove that the charge
against the defendant was disorderly and
Tlotous conduct.
Mr.. Chisholm took the position in open
ing his argument that the defendant
could not be legally convicted on the
charge against him. He read section 1889
Of the ordinances of the city of Savannah
as TO riotous and disorderly conduct. He
held that the charge was made conjunc-
lively, and that it lay upon the city TO
show that the defendant was guilty of
both riotous and disorderly conduct. The
charge, he contended, was not framed
properly; that the two offenses did not
belong to the same grade, and that his
client could not be convicted OF
riotous conduct because it was
an offense upon which the state
had not legislated. Riotous, he said,
implied force. both by strength and arms.
Mr. Chisholm quoted authorities in sup
port of his position. Tt was
necessary to show violence, he
said, to prove riotous conduct and this
would be a state offense and not subject
10 trial by council, and under the charge
made it was necessary to prove both
charges
As to the facts of the case. Mr.. CHS
holm held that there was no evidence
