Chicago, July ia crowd Of more
than 5000 gathered In the vicinity Of
the Mcintyre house last night, follow
ing the shooting to death Of six per-
sons and the wounding Of Ave others
yesterday morning. Rumors reached
the police that a race riot was immi-
nent.
Seeking to prevent misguided
wreaking Of vengeance against the me-
groes in the neighborhood. Captain
Wesrbrook acted quickly. He called
upon Second Deputy Schuettler for as
slstance.
AS result fifty detectives and pa
trolmen were rushed to the scAne.
under orders to dispense the crowd and
prevent possible outbreaks.
Another negro who, like Henry ].
Mcintyre. the insane slayer Of four
persons yesterday. worried about the
sins of the negro. occupied the atten-
ton Of the police today. He was
George Flower. lahorer, who. In scant
attire and his body "anotnted" with
lard. was racing up and down in front
Of his homo trying to drive tho devil
from the race" when q policeman ar.
rested him.
Fight Have Prevented Tragedy.
Had warrant charging Henry Nc.
Intyre. an African negro. with making
death threats been served on him a
planned on Monday night q general
shooting early yesterday morning
might not have occurred.
Mcintyre was crazsd with religious
fervof. Those who lived near his homs.
800 North Irving avenue. had COM
planned Of his strange actions. e
He would roll his eyes, shriek ter
rfble oaths and n,lInbls threats of
murder. These. SO his neighhors say,
were the result Of broodinss Over, re-
liston and the trials Of his race. Often
his mania took the form Of violent
rawlings.
1t was one OF these attacks that
caused warrant to be issued for his
arrest on Monday.
A policeman went to McIntyre's
home to serve the warrant. The negro
was not at home. The policeman de-
cded to wait until morning. His de-
cision cost six lives.
Injured Will Recover.
Reports from local hospitals this
morning indicate that the officers and
others hurt in the fight probably would
get well. Edward Clement detective
sergeant was said to be in the most
serious condition.
Among the effects found in the Nc
Intyre house after the bodies had been
removed was a letter he had written
to Prince Menelik, Of Abyssinia. It
was sent in January, 1915, and re-
turned unopened in April, 1916. In it
Mcintyre proposed colonizing Ameri-
can negroes in Abyssinia. stating that
he had organized church and also
an immigration league in the name Of
the Abyssinian government" altho he
knew nothing about the c6untry or
government. except that my father
taught me or read In books, dear sir"
Another sentence read: "My father
taught me from childhood that A. was
my country and that King NJ. was my
kind Of ruler; there are 10 African sub
jects here who know practically nothing
about Africa
Farther along he wrote: Some Of us
don't believe that the African race has
a King. dear sir. There are thousands
Of loyal Africans that are willing to
come back to A. IL our beloved king
would permit us to, o king"
