Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Danger Ahead Troops Are Called Out For Haverhill Riot. Anti-Catholic Orator Stirs Mob of 8000 to Frenzy. Dr. Thomas E. Leyden, "The American Luther of the New Reformation," Endeavors to Hold Meeting at City Hall - Hundreds of Panes of Glass Broken - Shots Fired - False Alarms Kept Firemen Dashing About - Police Helpless - Mayor Calls Out Co. F. In these bold headlines the press of the city, where stands the cradle of liberty, epitomized the latest Roman Catholic outrage in the nation-wide systematic war which Knights of Columbus and other "props of the hierarchy" are waging on the organic law of our land. It is a fact worthy of notice that this example of criminal lawlessness follows an exactly similar exhibition of Roman Catholic defiance of the constitution, the laws of the state, and the life and limb of the citizens, which occurred in the city of Chicago just one month earlier. A Record Of Crime. Here is a partial record of the crimes committed in this lawless orgy by the faithful subjects of the sovereign on the Tiber in their successful effort to trample underfoot the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and public assembly, as reported in the Boston and Haverhill papers. The Rev. Robert Atkinson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, assaulted in city hall. Patrolman J. R. Bridgman, cruelly beaten while attempting to arrest one of the criminals. Charles Jackson, dragged from the National Club and terribly beaten. Corporal Thomas Payne, wounded by a piece of plate glass thrown by the rioters. A patriot youth, named Chase, shamefully beaten and another young man who was chased by the mob and overtaken on Fleet street, beaten into almost unconsciousness. Edward McDonald, murderously assaulted by the mob. The City Hall Police Station windows smashed, doors broken down and other damage inflicted upon public property. The National Club room wrecked and furniture thrown to the streets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
