"LATER.--While the coroner was summoning a jury, Mark Antony and
other friends of the late Caesar got hold of the body, and lugged

that, as we go to press, the chief of police is satisfied there
is going to be a riot, and is taking measures accordingly."

"schedule" was simply a note discovering to Caesar that a plot was
brewing to take his life.]
