events of Sunday night were exciting.
In tho forenoon Charles Richards was
arrested on a warrant issued by Al

en directly from tho warrant was:
"That snld Charles Richards In com
pany with fifteen or twenty other per

lawful assembly to the disturbance
of the public peace and unlawfully In
terfered with Ofllcer Walsh and Jones
in their effort to quell said riot nnd

peace nnd dignity of this common
wealth." Richards was arrested by Detective

$25 for his appearance at tho hearing
announced for 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The friends of Thomas Caf
frey, who was arrested for Interfering,
secured his release early yesterday

ing, were filled with friends of the
men arrested. School Controller Lan
gan, of the Eighteenth ward, and City
Treasurer C. G. Boland being promin
ent among the interceders who visited

At 10 o'clock a half hundred men
were waiting for the hearing. O'Mal
ley's attorney, Frank J. Fltzsimmons,
made the request that the case be
postponed until 4 o'clock In the after
noon so that his side could summon
Important witnesses. It was the out
spoken Intention to oppose to the bitter
end the testimony of Patrolmen Jones
and Walsh.
Mayor Bailey acceeded to the request
and the case was adjourned. At 4
o'clock, and for an hour previous, the
main corridor at the city hall was
fairly choked with men. It was no
ticed that Attorney Fltzsimmons, C.
G. Boland and others were having a
conference in Mayor Bailey's private
office. His honor was present. O'Mal
ley and Caffrey moved about through
the crowd in a nervous, restless way.
O'Malley's right wrist was wrapped
in linen where the handcuff had pinch
ed him. t
AT THE HEARING.
In the mayor's office were five wo
men, friends of the two men, and Caf
Irey's children. Down stairs In the po'
lice office were Patrolmen Walsh and
Jones. Patrolman Jones' right arm is
lamed from the blow from the chair,
struck by O'Malley. At 4 o'clock May
or Bailey and Attorney Fltzsimmons,
their conference at an end, came out of
the private office by the side door and
proceeded down stairs to the court
room. Tho crowd followed and took
up every seat In the room, a score or so
standing. At least 150 men, young and
old, were present. O'Malley was called
first. Ho gave his story: He was
standing on the corner of Second street
and Brpadway talking to some
friends when Patrolman Jones came
along. "He told us to move on" said
O'Malley; "I did not answer but look
ed at him. He said, 'Don't stand there
looking at me, move on!' 'I live right
here,' I said; 'That makes no differ
ence you must move on.' I then step
ped to the porch of the saloon and
said, ' I've got a license to stand here.'
He (Jones) then made a dive for mo
and struck mo with his club."
"Ofllcer Jones!" called out Mayor
Bailey. Patrolman Jones gave his
story as printed in yesterday's Tri
bune. He ordered O'Malley to move
and he refused. O'Mnlley stepped up
on the porch and said. When Pa
trolman Jones repeated the filthy epi
thet tho crowd in tho court room
laughed. Several women were present.
Patrolman Jones then described in de
tail how O'Malley had used the chair,
etc., and how ho was finally arrested.
Patrolman Jones said "That's all, your
honor," and he no sooner had said so
when Mayor Bailey, looking at O'Mal
ley, said: "I fine you fifteen dollars."
CAFFREY'S STORY.
"Thomas Caffrey!" called his honor
nnd Caffrey when asked to tell his
story smiled and hung his head as if
It were a very funny narration he was
going to give. He said he was In bed
at the timo and heard that O'Malley
had been shot. He dressed and went
out. Patrolmen Walsh and Jones came
along with O'Malley "and," said Caf
frey, "Walsh pointed his gun right nt
me and llred, saying get back damn
you, get back. 'I'll report you for
shooting' I sald,"and that's all anybody
else would say."
Patrolman Walsh was called. Ills
testimony was scorching. Ho said that
Caffrey urged the crowd to stone tho
officers nnd encouraged them in every
way. "I consider," said Patrolman
Walsh; "that Caffrey Is worse than
O'Malley." "Fifteen dollars," said
Mayor Halley suddenly and In a quiet
tone. "The court's hdjournedr." It
all passed so quickly that the crowd
seemed dazed. O'Malley looked discon
tented. Surrounded b friends ho
hung around the city hall for an hour
nfterward. O'Malley says he will pre
fer charets against tha officers.
