serves of Jersey City succeeded in
quelling the first riot Of longshoremen

were taken away in patrol wagon.
A small contingent of strikers and
their sympathizers, including men,
women and children, gathered at the
Lehigh Valley freight depot to express
their mutual grievances to the men
employed by the railroad. When the
four policemen who were stationed at
the river front to prevent any dis
turbance attempted to quiet the mob
they were ridiculed and insulted.
In a short time the air was full of
missiles, which the mob began hurting
with such perfect aim that the police
men were compelled to seek shelter.

available policeman in the city to the
rescue of their comrades, and several
arrests followed. Patrolman Clark,

Theodore Reshinski of 2O90 Grand ave
nue. and his wife, Frances, finally sue
ceeded In subduing the pair and lead
ing them to a patrol wagon. The po-
liceman alleged that the woman manip-
ulated her finger nails with wonderful
skill, while her husband was a clever
artist with chisei.

county the report adds
Can't Connect Anybody.
1--WE have been unable to connect any
body with the perpetration of this of
fense, or to identify any one who was
connected with 1t. although we have in
vestigated the Information furnished us
by officers and other parties, and have
followed up letters, signed and unsigned,
and to this end We have subpoenaed and
examined many witnesses in an effort to
disclose the perpetrators of this crime
but none of these witnesses could identify
any of the parties.
I'VE find from investigation that the
officers of the law and the citizens Of
our town and county knew nothing of
this crime until they heard of the body
being found near Frey's gin in this
county. The city of Marietta and the
county Of Cobb were quiet before this
trouble, are quiet now and all reports
to the contrary are untrue"

Upwards OF thirty-five witnesses were
examined yesterday and tooay. They
included the chief Of police and other
citizens OF Atlanta and persons in every

letters referred to in the report still
are being received by officials of Cobb

ignore them. Marietta is not in the
