"No," said Mr. Gibson, "I would not leave the city for ten thousand dollars." He then whispered to his mother: "You keep her here till I go out and get an officer to arrest her." He then went out; and finding an officer on the corner, told him the facts, but the officer said he could do nothing in the matter. Mr. Gibson then started up to the Mayor's Office, but he met the Mayor in Fifth Street above Walnut, to whom he stated the facts. The Mayor walked along to the Office with him, and there told Lieutenant Thomas to have a warrant issued for the arrest of the sister, who had thus endeavored to get Mr. Gibson out of the way. Mr. Gibson having made the charge under oath, the warrant issued. When he returned, Mrs. Hurtt had left his house and gone into her brother's house. He stood on the pavement awhile to see if she would come out. She did not do so, and then he went to the door and asked where that lady was who had been in his house that morning about that business. Old Mrs. Herriges said: "Come in and see her." "No," said he, "let her come out here." She then came to the door, and Mr. Gibson told Officer Koniwasher to arrest her, that there was a warrant in Lieutenant Thomas' hands and that was on his order. Koniwasher told Mr. Gibson to go up to the Station House, get the warrant from Lieutenant Thomas, bring it down and he would wait till he came back. Mr. Gibson did so and Lieutenant Thomas gave the warrant to Mr. Gibson and sent an Officer along with him, who came back with Mr. Gibson and Mrs. Hurtt was arrested. In about half an hour the party started back to the Central Station accompanied by Joseph Herriges, the brother, who said to Mr. Gibson: "Just look at the trouble you have brought on me now!" to which he made no reply. At this moment the mob began to yell out: "Lynch him! Knife him! Kill him!" Herriges said to the Officers: "Officers protect me!" The Officers closed round them to protect them, and when a car came, put the whole party in it and so reached the Central Station House, where Mrs. Hurtt denied in the most positive manner having ever said anything on the subject to Mr. Gibson more, than offering him whatever rent was coming to him, in fact she denied having made any other proposition about the matter at all. At the same time we must insert here also the following paragraph, which is taken from _The Day_ newspaper of Thursday June 16th. The article is headed: "_Poor Idiot Caged Up In a Filthy Room For Many Years_." "The defendent * * * claimed that he had given his brother all the necessary attention and that the condition of affairs at the house was exaggerated by the witnesses. _That this is not the case, our reporter who visited the premises in company with Chief Mulholland, Coroner Taylor, and other officers can testify._"
