There was an angry roar from the crowd; the prosecutor pleaded and threatened unheeded; and as for the deputy sheriff, he declared his intention of taking with him all who wished to go as his posse.

Eph Watts succeeded in making himself heard above the tumult.
"The Square!" he shouted.

"Start from the Square.

We want everybody, and we'll need them.

We want every one in Carlow to be implicated in this posse." "They will be!" shouted a farmer.
