the affair. The matter will be closely
investigated.

Socialists Charge Police With
Inciting Riot.

New York. March 81. - A red flag
fluttered in Union square Saturday;
bomb fell; two men lay dying in the
peoples playground, and New York
awoke to the fact that it harbored
those prepared to give their lives in
armed resistance Of constituted au-
thority.

broken up a meeting of 10000 unem-
ployed. 1t exploded prematurely in
the hands of the assassin, horribly
wounding him, killing his companion
and slightly injuring four policemen.
Hunter Intended to Speak.
Robert Hunter, the noted sociolo-
gist, last night declared that he was
not only present at Saturdays demon
stration, but that had opportunity Of
fered he would have addressed the
crowd in defiance of police prohibition
and so brought a test in the courts of
the right of free speech. Mr.. Hunters
position in the whole matter was set
forth in statement over his sigma
ture given to the Associated Press.
The writer deplores the outrage of
the bomb and refers to its author as a
fanatic, who has injured the cause of
the unemployed.
Police Were Brutal.
Mr.. Hunter says until he arrived at
the square he was ignorant of the fact
that speechmaking had been forbid
To Il 1,sr ~ %1~

order that the right of peaceful assem-
bly, and free speech might be tested
In the courts. He adds that he had
no chance to be heard. for presently
the police charged the crowd with in
credible brutality" Mr.. Hunter de-
scribes his own escape from under a

ged by officers from the steps of a
building from which lie had hoped to
speak, and how what was intended as
a peaceful assembly in furtherance of
aid for the unemployed was broken up
with a scene that he thought could
not be duplicated outside of Russia"
Fanatic May Survive.

whose hands the bomb exploded as he
was about to hurl it at Capt. Miles
O'Reilly and his squad of twenty men,

frightful bodily injuries, he may sur

explosion were arraigned in court yes
terday and held for further exalnina-

part in a riot.
