... I suppose, if there are to be strikes and
mobs who want to destroy our property, that we must have guards and
police ... But they shouldn't aggravate things. I went around where I
could see--and I saw the police charge. I saw them send their horses
smashing into that crowd--and I saw them draw back, leaving men on
the pavement, ... There was one who writhed about and made horrible
sounds! ... The mob was against us and the police were for us--but I
couldn't stand it. I guess I lost my head. I hadn't the least
intention of doing what I did, or of doing anything but watch ... but
I lost my head. I did rush up to the police, Miss Frazer, and the
strikers tried to mob me. I was struck more than once ... It wasn't
to tell the police to charge. You must believe me--you MUST. ... I
was afraid they WOULD charge again, so I rushed at them. All I
remember distinctly is shouting to them that they mustn't do it
again--mustn't charge into that defenseless mob. ... It was
horrible.
