Why hunt for more evidence against Herr Most? Have we no laws against inciting treason and insurrection against openly and blatantly calling upon a mob to arm themselves with guns and dynamite to resist the judiciary of the State or the Nation? We deprecate the interference of Judge Lynch in the vigorous discharge of public affairs, but if this New York revolutionary fiend were found dangling to a lamp post on Broadway it would create far less public lamentation than another Chatsworth disaster.
