changed all that As tho exciting
tidings swept through tho city the
guardsmen wero bitterly denounced
Neither of the men had been guilty
of Tin offense but wero caught in a
crowd some member of which had
etoned tho guardsmen and by mis

duty as soldiers for they were under
orders to shoot If assaulted

of bitter revenge may bo expected
William Walsh one of the men
wounded by a bullet from a member
of the Twenty third regiment Is dead
With the addition of the Ninth regi
ment today there will bo over 3000
guardsmen in Albany
