The Sheriff and his men walked of. BY
that time there were SOC members" In the
street. Capt. Hodgins came out ard made
the police clear the street. Then a number
OF plain clothes men from all over the city,
who like a little amusement now and then,
got busy and helped the cops shoe away the
crowd, just as II they mad come there
expecting to work. When the street was
fairly cleared, Newmann hung a big black
board in front Of the building on which this
had been chalked
