I
do
n't
take
much
stock
in
this
lynching
idea
.
Still
,
you
ca
n't
tell
.
I
do
n't
know
whether
the
police
could
help
us
much
or
not
.
It
's
a
damned
outrage
.
Cowperwood
has
a
fair
proposition
.
What
's
the
matter
with
them
,
anyhow
?
"
Renewed
sounds
of
"
Marching
Through
Georgia
"
from
without
.
Enter
at
this
time
Aldermen
Ziner
,
Knudson
,
Revere
,
Rogers
,
Tiernan
,
and
Kerrigan
.
Of
all
the
aldermen
perhaps
Messrs.
Tiernan
and
Kerrigan
were
as
cool
as
any
.
Still
the
spectacle
of
streets
blocked
with
people
who
carried
torches
and
wore
badges
showing
slip-nooses
attached
to
a
gallows
was
rather
serious
.
"
I
'll
tell
you
,
Pat
,
"
said
"
Smiling
Mike
,
"
as
they
eventually
made
the
door
through
throngs
of
jeering
citizens
;
"
it
does
look
a
little
rough
.
Whad
ye
think
?
"
"
To
hell
with
them
!
"
replied
Kerrigan
,
angry
,
waspish
,
determined
.
"
They
do
n't
run
me
or
my
ward
.
I
'll
vote
as
I
damn
please
.
"
"
Same
here
,
"
replied
Tiernan
,
with
a
great
show
of
courage
.
"
That
goes
for
me
.
But
it
's
putty
warm
,
anyhow
,
eh
?
"
"
Yes
,
it
's
warm
,
all
right
,
"
replied
Kerrigan
,
suspicious
lest
his
companion
in
arms
might
be
weakening
,
"
but
that
'll
never
make
a
quitter
out
of
me
.
"
"
Nor
me
,
either
,
"
replied
the
Smiling
One
.
Enter
now
the
mayor
,
accompanied
by
a
fife-and-drum
corps
rendering
"
Hail
to
the
Chief
.
"
He
ascends
the
rostrum
.
Outside
in
the
halls
the
huzzas
of
the
populace
.
In
the
gallery
overhead
a
picked
audience
.
As
the
various
aldermen
look
up
they
contemplate
a
sea
of
unfriendly
faces
.
"
Get
on
to
the
mayor
's
guests
,
"
commented
one
alderman
to
another
,
cynically
.
