I had been to Concord to spend Sunday with my kindred there.

I got to Worcester at nine o'clock Monday morning, and was told at the station of the condition of things.

I went immediately to the City Hall, made my way through the crowd to the building, and was admitted to the police office by the City Marshal, who was my client, and apt to depend on me for legal advice.

I found Butman in a state of great terror.

It was evident that the crowd was too large for any police force which the little city had in its service.
