In the j course; of George's -address he was interrupted by a clamor at the back of lhehall,from whence he was called upon to explain his action m approving of hanging the Chicago dynamitards, " I approved of that course being taken," said George", " because those men were nothing better than murderers," and this declaration was received with deafening cheers from the audience.
