W. R. Hearst Hung in Effigy
Crowd about It So Large That Traffic Is Suspended.
.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—In Bedford avenue, near Monroe
street, an effigy of William R. Hearst, publisher of the trio of Hearst’s papers,
was hung from an electric light pole at 9 o’clock this morning. The effigy attracted
a large crowd.
The effigy hung in Monroe street all night. This
morning the boys got it down and placed it in a more conspicuous place in Bedford
avenue. A large number of small boys gathered about and began pelting it with
stones. The crowd became so large that all traffic was suspended for a time.
Three large placards were suspended from the effigy,
which read:
“This is Hearst, the real assassin of the president;”
“Down with William R. Hearst,” and “Down with yellow journalism.”
