occasion into a monster demonstra-
ton of sympathy for the dead men
and the strikers at the Hollander
plant.
Although arrangements had been
made to have the bodies lie in state
in Windsor Hall, at Broome and Nor
ton streets, until 2 O'Clock the jam
became so great at 1880 that the po-
lice suggested the hall be closed.
Then those who were to take part
in the procession commenced to form
in line in double order along both
Broome and Morton streets. The line
in Broome street reached from
Springfield avenue to West Kinney

street, where the caskets were placed
in the hearses.

twos. The Socialist party of New
Jersey was represented by "a big
delegation, which wore red badges
fringed with black ant carried at
their head the big red banner of the
society, also draped in black. Dis

English, Yiddish, German, Polish,
Italian and Greek, saying "The two

Captain vogel, of the Fourth pre-

about three blocks the caskets were
placed in hearses and proceeded
towards the cemetery.

Is known as William J. Abramakos
and William j. Abrams, was ar
raigned before Judge Mancusi-Un-
CARO- in the Fourth Precinct Court to-
day charged with the murder Of Ru-
bin and Nowak.
William G.. Waldron, counsel for the
accused man, demanded hearing.
The prisoner was held without bail
until Thursday, April %. That date
was fixed upon the report from the
physicians at st. Barnabas's Hospital
that the two companions of Arram-
vamos, who were badly beaten, prob
ably will be able to be out by that
time.

other two in the party of Greeks
from further suspicion. The correct
tai are Helias M. Arramvamos,
cousin of Dasileus. and Nicholas P.
Panagokas.

defense, he told friends that he did
not have the slightest doubt that his
clients would be liberated. 1t is
