Wilkrsbakre, Pa , Jan. 23 —Plymouth
was in a wild state of excitement last
evening Yesterday morning two Luthe-
ran children were buried in the Polish
cemetery and in the afternoon a mob of
furious Poles headed by Martin Wilkes
and armed with shot guns tore open the
grave, dragged out the coffins, drove
their picks and drills through them and
threw the bodies over the fence out of
the cemetery. When Martin Wi'.kes was
sent to jail Tuesday by Alderman Ilooney
in default of 125,000 biil, with several
others activeamongthe law defyingPolish
faction, it was believed there would be
no further violence. Wilkes, however,
obtained a writ of habeas corpus yester-
day morning, on which he was given a
hearing before Judge Woodwatd. His
bail was reduced to 110 000, which was
promptly furn shed and Wilkes was set
at liberty. He left the court house and
then declared he would dis-
inter the bodies and throw
them out of the cemetery. W. II.
Pines, who is lawyer for the Lutheran
faction, obtained an injunction from the
court restraining Wilkes from inteiferr
ing with the bodies, and served it on
him before ho left the city to return to
Plymouth. He did not get down to Ply-
mouth until 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
but as soon «s he arrived he collected
a mob of the Polish faction, By his
directions all who had arms got them
and ewery one in the crowd had pistols,
shot guns and rifles. They started about
4 o'clock for the Polish ctmetery which
is in the lower end of the town. The
gates had been broken open by the
Lutheran in the morning when the
children were buried. When the Poles
rcHched the cemetery it was deserted
They instantly went to work to disinter
the bodies They had brought along
picks aud shovels and in a few moments
they bad thrown out the freshly lai<
earih and exposed the two coffins It is
stated that in their rage they drove they
picks through the coffins and the bodies
they held.
The coffins were then dragged out of
the opened graves, carried to the fence
and thrown over it into the public high
way, where they were left lying while
the Poles marched off. As soon as the
news of this outrage came to the ears of
the i utherans they sent a committee to
this city to wait on Mr. Hynes and see
what could be done. The two bodies
were horribly mutilated by pick axes,
Three other coffins were taken out of
the graves but the bodies were not dis-
turbed. When armed Lutherans arrived
on the scene, the Poles fled. There is
talk of lynch law. 1 housands of people
were in the cemetery. The Lutherans
gathered up the mutilated bodies aud re*
interred them.
man was wearing a belt full of revolvers.
To avoid lynching the prisoners were tsk
en Richmond.
