Wolcott and George V. Massey, Ksqs ,are counsel for the defendants. OPINION or THE DOVER PAPERS, In reference to the riot of Saturday night the Dover Sentinel devotes quite a lengthy space,from which we clip the following : y night last witnessed the most dastardly outrages upon the streets of this town that the citizens of any town were ever subjected to. The town was in virtual possession of a gang of ruffians armed with shot-guns and pistols, who shot down innocent and unoffending people without provo cation, and in a cold and premeditated manner. Twenty of the showmen wen; wounded, five of them seriously. They had done no wrong to their slay ers, and were even unknown to them. Their death and wounding had not even a quarrel to palliate it, but they were shot down like brutes while guarding their projierty and trying to leave the town. Theshootlng was plumed hours before it took place, and numerous ac cessories before t he fact were occupy ing windows to witness the "fun," as it was » allcd by the participants. The paper also contains a lengthy editorial on the subject, ami denounces the whole affair as a most outrageous one, perpetrated by a gang of rowdies who invest nearly every town. The Delawarean treats the subject in an editorial from which we clip the following extracts: The State and town authorities are using every endeavor to ferret out the guilty parties in this disgraceful affair, and we have nodoubt that the authors of this whole affair will be brought to justice. While no right-thinking por will t xcuse or palliate such a breach of the peace, we think that it is the duty of good citizens to withhold judgment in the case until the facts are brought to light in tie- courts, and the guilty parties, whither our citizens or the showmen,in this miserable and disgrace ful street light or riot, are brought to justice. |(Tie statements, however, that have •ecu spread broadcast through the press * of a highly sensational character, and in some respects glaringly untrue. The accounts of theorigiu of the trouble are conflicting, so also as to who are the aggressors and we don't pro|»o.-e blind ly to condemn anyone for the reason that the affair is being ferretted out by the officers of the State, who when suffi cient evidenee has been obtained will place the blame where it justly lies. While we are and ever will be the up holders of the law, we deem it improper, pending judicial investigation into the matter, to give expression of opinion in reference to the guilt or innocence of those charged or auspicioned as being connected with the disgraceful affair.
