The Daily Dispatch: May 15, 1863., [Electronic resource], The riot at Amboy, Illinois. (search)
rs, S Goldman, and many others were furiously assailed, but escaped with no injury of consequence. As soon as one of the rioters pitched upon a man, a dozen would come to his assistance, and with blows and kicks disable him, and then attack a new victims. As the alarm spread and our good citizens gathered, the rioters began to cool off, and quiet was finally restored. The friends of the rioters hustled them out of town before any arrests were made, but on Monday last Rourke was seen on the streets and promptly arrested by C. W. Bell, City Marshal. Justice Ambruss heard the case and held the accused to answer. He gave bail, and is now at liberty. It is operantly reported that Rourke has been in the rebel army, and is intending to return to the land of Secesh. A piece of a Confederate five dollar note, picked up in the courtroom where the prisoner sat, strengthens this suspicion. If he was innocent in this particular, why should be rid himself of the precious material?
