when a policeman arrested Edward Con-
nelly for attacking Henry Williams, a
negro, and was pursued to the station
house with his prisoner by mob of Con-
nelly's friends, hurting showers of stones
and other missiles. When the station house
reserves turned out, the whole neighbor-
hood was in an uproar and whites and
blacks engaged in desperate struggles in
the streets Torrents of missiles were
hurled from roofs and windows. Within
ten minutes not less than 1000 men, boys
and women, black and white were engaged
in a furious combat
The worst Of the fighting was in Sixty
second street. where from every window
and roof rained missiles, while hundreds
Of shots were fired. Rounds man Patrick
Walsh was knocked down by Joseph B.
Smith, negro, who leaped upon him from
a stoop, and after attempting to shoot
him, struck him repeatedly with the butt
Of his revolver. Walsh was finally rescued
by his comrades
Inspector Mclaughlin arrived shortly be-
fore O'Clock and realizing how wide
spread was the danger, sent hurry calls
for reserves from as far north las One Hun
dred and Twenty-hfth street and as far
south as Leonard street, from the East
Side and from the West Side In all. there
were more than go men under command
of the inspector within twenty minutes.
The riotlng spread down to F'ifty-seventh
street and up to Sixty-eighth street al
though the hardest battles wt.te fought be-
tween Sixty-flrst and Sixty bird streets.
For more than half am no q cars on the
Amsterdam avenue line weI 'dDlocked Col
ored men pursued by white, took refuge
on cars as they passed, aid were fol-
lowed by showers of bricks ana stones as
they fed. Every window in many cars
was broken and passengers took shelter
In neighboring houses. Cor ductors and
motormen hid under seats leaving their
cars to the mercy of the mob. Several
passengers were slightly hurt by stones
and broken glass.
In all, seven whites and two negroes had
their injuries attended to by the am
bulance surgeons, but scores of others less
seriously hurt were taken to their homes
by friends.
Five whites and six negroes among them
women of both races, almost all of whom
bore traces of conflict with the police, were
arrested.
