MOB LEADER BY TRADE.
Hayward Got Up n Riot In Paris For
Any One Who Paid Him.

Any One Who Paid Him.
Paris had for years professional
leader Of mobs, man named Hay
ward, who would get up mob and
raise riot any time, for any purpose,
according to orders, provided a sufi-
Client amount Of money was paid to
him. He was employed chiefly by po-
litical leaders, and his services were
In great demand at election time.
His regular business was peddling
toys, songs and novelties upon the
street. Many of the songs were written
by him, many Of the toys were his in
vention, and he was a man of genius
In some directions as we'll as strong
characterize strong that he was called
the Napoleon of the Camelots" and
the liking Of the Camelots." If he had
any principles or opinions of his own
he kept them to himself. He would
break up political meeting or create
an ovation and make popular hero for
a fixed sum of money.

street hawkers, peddlers. newsboys and
other gentlemen with lungs Of leather
and was in the habit of paying them
from 2 to 4 francs each every time
their services were required to raise a
riot or give a triumphant greeting to
any politician who wanted to convince
the public of his popularity.
With 500 or even $50 Of his followers
Hayward could raise an awful rumpus,
and human beings. like sheep, always
follow leader. 1t was Mr.. Pick

good policy to shout with the loudest
of the crowd. and no one could have
collected such band Of howlers in
Paris or anywhere else as the liking Of
/. the Camelots."
He led the mobs and directed the
riots in the interest Of General Bou-
langer when the latter attempted to
repeat the part Of Napoleon l. and was
the author of the Dreyfus riots. for
which he was paid by syndicate Of
army officers. The police knew all
about him. but never interfered with
his work because they had confidence
In his ability to control his followers
and realized that any interference on
their part might demoralize them. So
this professional mob organizer was al
lowed great liberties.
He could not have existed in any 9TH

place that could produce such a man,
and when he died the newspapers con-
tained formal obituaries. giving a de-

purpose Of influencing public opinion,
