_City and County of New York, ss._:
Mrs. Annie Hamer, being duly sworn, deposes and says that she resides
at 494 7th Avenue; that she is employed as a musician at "The Fair," in
East 14th Street; that on Wednesday, August 15th, 1900, about midnight
thereof, she in company with her husband arrived at 7th Avenue between
36th and 37th Streets on a 7th Avenue car; that when she alighted from
the car she found herself surrounded by a mob, and almost instantly was
struck in the mouth with a brick, thrown by some one whom she does
not know. She became separated from her husband, and did not know what
became of him until three A. M. the next morning, when he
came home all covered with blood. Deponent states further that she has
read the affidavit of her husband, hereto attached, and knows of her
own knowledge that the facts therein stated are true. Deponent further
states that she has been informed by her mother that the "captain"
stationed officers at the door of her residence, and told them to "not
let anyone in or out, and if anyone attempted it to shoot them."
