New Bedford. Jan. is. Net one OF the
cloth mills Of the city made any att, IN Il
to run this morning. The experiences of
yesterday, especially of the incipient riot
last evening at the Bristol mill, showed
that popular feeling was so intense that
1t would be unwise to make any effort.
Therefore not an engine was started,
even the Bristol being silent. The
thousands of operatives are quiet and
orderly and everything seems To have
settled down TO waiting game.
At the time for starting the scene
around the Bristol mill was an orderly
one and devoid OF ,xcitem n There were
gai hered perhaps luO of the strikers, but
they made 40 disturbance and nothing in
t.resting took place. The mill was not
started, and II IL had been there WAS IA
sufficient force OF police on hama To keep
anv demonstration down.
q The night watcbman of the mill re-
ports that some time during the night he
found two suspicious men lurking around
the cotton house. on his approach they
lied. A careful examination Of the prem
ises was made, but everything was found

He has teen before the bar committee

the action OF the court is found Il.
This Is the first ad verse decision Of the

mittee says:
The general charges against MIR.
Crowley are that he IL n notorious drunk
ard anh frequenter Of barrooms, ana as
socistes with low and disreputabls char
acttrs. and that his word cannot be de-
pended upon. These charges are sup
Dorted by the testimony Of citizens df
Bristol county, who have had business re-
lations with MIN. We nave not felt that
it was our duty 20 prosecute TO any great
extent m inquiry into Mr.. Crowley's 9 pri-
vote character, but have confined our
selves 10 his condition In the discharge of
duties as an attorney of this court We
ara satisfied that he has on more than
one occasion appeared In and about the
courts whils intoxicated, and that in one
instance he neglected 10 give proper at
tenton for this reason to n case which
had been intrusted u him for trial.
''We also find that in one case he made
charge OF $500 for services which was
In our opinion clearly extortionate and
afterward accepted $35 in settlement
"A specific charge against Mr.. Crowley
Is that ne collected s7 "a and costs In a
suit brought by him rs attorney for one
Joseph Benjamin West, and did not turn
over any part of the money to his client.
''we find the charge sustained. MIR.
Grow ley's excuse is that Mr.. BENJAMIN
was indebted To him for other services in
a sum rtater than the amount collected.
We ID not find. however, that this is
true. Mr.. Crowley can give no a-count
or other data of suca Indebtedness, nor
does II appear that ho even notified his
client that tho collection Tad been made

Mr.. Tanner then ridiculed the story
that the robbers had left Martin Mowry's

damning evidence against him and then
lighted big bonfire that could he seen

motive was plain one and ridiculed the
idea Of Mowry having a proper affection
for Savilla Reynolds. Mrs. Mowry, Sa-
villas mother. nad admitted she had
pleaded guilty of larceny, and it might
have been committed because she was
hungry, and there would have been
nothing criminal about IL, though 1t
might be bad taste.
Attention was called tn the testimony

pie in the house shout the m en- who
were tending si:k horse near by did
not hear. The states claim was that

TO Mrs. Reynolds room, and after usnig
the bayonet on her went to the room OF
Savilla and killed her. You cannot
imagine that Savilla Reynolds, n strong
girl of 16 years. would submit her honor
to Martin Mowrv. a graft iication Of this
passion would have brought Duuishment
