CABELL, Principala IMISERABLE MEN Ooxey’s Followers Herded Like Oattle at the New Camp. The General in His Speech Makes but Brief Allusion to the Events ef the Day. ‘The camp of the commonweal at Ist and M streets southwest presented a sorry spectacle yesterday evening after the delud- ed followers of Coxey and Browne had dragged themselves to the filthy spot se- lected for their abiding place in Washing- ton, The men had lost all interest in the object which had brought them to the na. tiona capital, and scarcely seemed to re- member the stirring events of the afternoon t the Capitol. Inertia would probabiy char- acterize the condition of the crowd. The commonwealers dragged themselves around rather than walked, unpicking their di- lapidated outfit and prepafing in a forlorn sort of way for the dreary future that was in store for them. Supper was the only ilea that found an abiding place in their dulled minds. Their intelligence was deadened. Half starved and wholly broken down, they seemed to accept the inevitable as a matter of course. The instinct of self-preservation had even deserted them, and the gathering illustrated in a striking degree the depths to which human beings may sink. The campiig ground was piled with filth that had been accumulated during many months, and was in every condition of foul decay. Over it all hung the atmosphere from the fetid putrescence of the James Creek canal. The weary and weak commonwealerg however, were too far gone to mind their surround- ings. They threw themselves down upon the piles of filth, and were careless of everything except the desire to rest their aching bones, and wait for the promised sustenance for their emaciated bodies. When supper did come at last it was a travesty. A hunk of bread, a small piece of bologna sausage and a cup of coffee were dealt out to each commonwealer, and they spread themselves around the inclosure to devour with ravenous haste their pittance of provender. This slight lunch wi all they had had to eat since early morning, when a bolled egg, a piece of bread and a measure of weak coffee had formed their breakfast. Dull, Deadly Apathy. Visitors to the camp have heretofore found no difficulty in drawing the men into con- versation. Last night they were beyond the stage of talkativeness. Many of them were proffered alms by the sympathetic and re- ceived them in a listless sort of a way, as If they didn’t really remember what money looked like or what it was intended for. They knew nothing and cared nothing about the preceding events at the Capitol. and the only thing that seemed to gratify them was the fact that Browne had been clubbed, and the majority of those who would talk at all expressed the wish that the clubbing had been an energetic one. It was Browne whom they held responsible for their present plight and they did not show any hesitancy in expressing their hatred of him. But even the indication of the strongest of. human sentiments was weak. As night drew on and deepened into darkness the hopeless, miserable and de- spairing men sought rest and sleep around the inclosure and huddled together, partica- larly in one corner, across which some can- | vas had‘been stretched to form a precarious sort of. & shelter. At the entrance to the grounds was dis- g rude sign to the effect that Gen. Would, at'§ o'clock, deliver an ad: aren When that hour was reached Coxey mounted a platform constructed in the simplest manner and proceeded to address the two or three hundred persons who had congregated about him. Back of the plat- form was, hung a huge banner bearing the mottoes and legends of the army and its purposes. On either side of the platform was a flaring gas jet, and but for the slight light afforded by them here and there a camp fire, the whole place was wrapped in absolute darkness. Stil Harping on His Bills. Gen. Coxey spoke for about an hour. He explained at the outset that he was no ora- tor, and not one who heard him last evening thought to say otherwise. His remarks Were temperate, no attempt being made to excite In the slightest ‘manner the minds of those who heard him, the speaker seemingly having but one purpose, that of laying be- fore his hearers the plan and object of his descent upon Washington. At times he was applauded, but it was a noticeable fact that the applause lacked both volume and en- thusiasm. Another thing observed was that while very many members of the army were in the throng about the speaker, seldom, if ever, aid they express their ap- proval, if approval they felt, for what he Said, standing mute and inglorious, hopeless and with despair written upon their faces. Gen, Coxey told his audience that there was but one hope for the country, and that was to adopt his measures. Congress, he said, had but to pass the bill proposed by him, and then would instantly follow pros- perity and an extermination forever of the dangers which he exclaimed now tareatened the land. Washington, he cried, was a most beautiful city, none more so in the whole world, and ff, as he had been told, he and his men would die before his bills were pessed, then he and his army could find no better place than the national capital to die in, The city, he remarked, had been reached after untold suffering, but he want- ed the country to know that he and his men would rot here before they would consent to leave without accomplishing their object. He nor his men, who would soon be rein- forced by hundreds of thousands, proposed to break any law, however harsh the laws might be, but they hoped and believed that by acquainting the people with their harsh- ness. the repeal of the laws would be soon secured, Alluded to the Day's Events, In his crusade, he explained, there was no Politics, for both the great pariles were equally guilty of tramping down the people for selfish gain, and he intimated that the same might not unreasonably be expected in time of the populists’ party. The people must, if they would succeed, take matters in their own hands. “Go to Congress yourselves,” he exclaim- . “Quit sending lawyers there. Send to Washington people of your own class. If you do, you can’t do worse than they have done for you, and you might do a great deal better.” ‘This advice caught the érowd, and the most enthusiastic applause of the evening followed it. ‘The events of the day were merely alluded to in a most casual manner, and the gen- eral said nothing more of them than to merely recite them without making any serious coment thereon. The address was far from interesting, and after the speaker had been speaking for thirty minutes the crowd began to gradually thin out, and busied themselves in inspecting the camp and its miserable occupants. to hear the address throughout, and upon its conclusion Gen. Coxey, after spending a few minutes in looking about the place, left for his comfortable quarters at his hotel, leaving his deluded and despairing follow: | ers to their miserable surroundings. The police of the fourth precinct, in which the camp is situated, stated that the men had Few remained | given nd trouble whatever, and remarked that they anticipated none from them. The only time the services of the police were re- quired was when it became necessary to call the ambulance and convey four of the army to the Freedmen’s Hospital, the men Leing found to be quite sick. He Was Husiled Out. Coxey does rot want any anarchists in his camp. Yesterday afternoon a sympathizer, who pald admission to the grounds, was ad- dressing a little group of men and gave his experience when he was out of work in a Pennsylvania town one time. During the course of his remafks he dropped some vague expressions abcut burning tdéwns if work was not forthcoming. He was im- mediately called Gown by the police, taken before Coxey, who repudiated him, and he was then hustled away in the patrol wagon. Ye don’t want any talk like that around here,” shouted the Coxey men, as the patrol wagor drove off. MONTGOMERY GIBBS’ MURDER. No Solution of the Recent Buffalo Mystery. The mystery of the murder of Montgom- ery Gibbs, the real estate dealer, lawyer and former newspaper man, at Buffalo on Saturday night continues unsolved. Gibbs lived with his brother on Main street. All sat down to dinner Saturday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Gibbs was in good spirits. He told stories and there was no indication about him that led his brother to believe he was in any trouble whatever. After the meal was finished Mr. Gibbs smoked a ci- gar, and then left the house. His movements from that hour until 10 o'clock are shrouded in mystery. When he left the house at 7:30 he said he was going out to spend the evening and would be back early. Three shots, fired in rapid succession, startled the inhabitants of Delaware ave- nue, near the cortier of Bryant street, a few minutes before 10 o'clock. As soon as he could snatch his hat William W. Sloan, jr, lving at No. 869 Delaware avenue, rushed out of his house and into the street and discoverd the form of a man lying in the roadway leading into the yard of the Misses Squire, at 864, on the opposite or west side of the street. The Misses Squire are two maiden ladies between sixty and seventy years old. Th are daughters of Socrates Squire, who w a well-known Buffalo merchant. Gibbs was found in the driveway lead- ing from the street to the barn. Three min- utes after he was taken into the hospital, just as he was laid on the operating tabic, he died. Fourteen detectives were put to work on the case at once. The ground about the place where the man was killed was thor- oughly searched, but no revolver was found, nor were there any traces of a struggle. The suicide theory was proved utterly false at the autopsy. Three shots were fired. Two bullets struck Gibbs. One en- tered his left elbow, passed through the arm, which must have been held in a po- sition nearly horizontal, and lodged under ; the skin below the left shoulder. It would have been impossible for Gibbs to have fired the shot himself. The other bullet struck Gibbs in the temple. It was discov- ered at the dutopsy that this bullet took a downward course from the temple. Gibbs was a tall man. He could not have tred this shot himself either. It is not probable that his assaflant could have fired it while Gibbs was erect. Ths | bullet was fired while Gibbs was 01 x the purpose of revenge. Men who know Gibbs well say there was | a woman in the case. The pistol used was not a large one. It was a 32-caliber and probably of the self-action 4 woman | ground, and indicates that the attack was | could use it, and use it effectively, if it was necessary. Assistant Superintendent of Police Cusack Says that there is a woman in the case in his opinion. So do some of the other tives. But nothing has been proved. Gibbs lived in Main street, which is two Dlocks to the east from Delaware avenue and runs parallel to the avenue at @ spot almost in a straight line from the scene of the murder. If he was going home from down town he walked out of his way when he went out the avenue. It is more likely that he was either stroll- ing along the averme with somebody: or hed been calling on somebody on some of the residence streets that branch out from Dei- aware avenue thereabouts, Few young lawyers were better known in Buffalo than Montgomery Gibbs. He was born in the city thirty-three years ago, and lived there ever since. Mr. Gibbs was edu- cated in the public schools, and attended the high school after graduating from rake grammar school. Leaving the high school, he took up new: work. ‘spaper When the Evening Telegraph was first Started he was made a reporter. He work- ed for the Telegraph for three years. He was offered a better position with the rier, and left the Telegraph to go with paper. He worked on the — fora j months, and then joined the staff of | Republic, the afternoon edition of the rier at the time. Mr. Gibbs was city editor of the for three years. After that and then went into real estate. eee THWARTED THE SCHEME. Forged an Old Lady’s Will and ried Her Of. J. Ross Landers of Chicago and W. Brown of Philadelphia have been held $2,000 bail—the former charged ‘with spiracy to cheat and defraud an | man out of a fortune by using drugs to her to marry him, and then make « leaving him all her property, and the as an accomplice. Catherine M. Shacklett, a seventy years of age, was victim. According to the testimony trate Eisenbrown, Landers met Mrs. Pitt a iiatfer ; i given.
