All these purported conversations
were allowed over the protests of the
entire committee, Senator Towner and
Foley recording individual protests
against their admission.
The Mayors appearance on the stand
was followed By a mob scene, with the
usual Unknown" playing a prominent
role.
Police Ready for Riot.
The Unknown, in language far from
parliamentary, objected to the Mayor
testifying. For few minutes the place
was in an unprosr. Senator Thompson,
who believed the Mayor was in per-
sonal danger, called upon the police TO
help him in keeping order, and lnspec-
tor Cray ordered all policemen in plain
clothes to put on their shields.
Nearly two score policemen, oil in
plain clothes, put on their shileds-a
minute later. During the minute-onc
Of suspense-they kept their hands on
their revolvers.
Perhaps the only seemingly calm per-
son in the room during this minute was
Mayor Mitchell. But inwardly he was as
excited as the rest. This was evident
from the pulsating muscles on the sides
Of his neck. Seated in the witness
chair, a set smile on his face, he
watched the scene before him. The
twenty-five detectives in the room, spe-
cislly detailed to prevent harm being
done him, also watched the scene be-
fore and behind him. They did not
smile.
Woods's Deputy Not known.
And when the Mayor left the room
an hour later his police guard took no
chances and msnhsndled Theodore
Rousseau, the Mayors secretary, and
Deputy Police Commissioner Lord, who
tried to reach the Mayors side. Both
were unknown to some OF the police,
and finally the cry Of Mr.. Lord:
"I'm a deputy police eomnissioner!"
was heard by a policeman who knew
him, and Mr.. Lord escaped further
rough treatment.
"They almost broke my left shoul--
der" said Secretary Rousseau later he
laughed, however, as ne recalled the
big. heavy set detective who thrust .
elbow into the stomach Of Deputy
Police CommissicLer Lord.
