The man making the outcry was
found to be John Walker, a second class
fireman. When the witness arrived on
the scene Walker was being placed in
irons. McCalla stood back ick at at the 1 bridge,
Walker a little distance off. While b his
arms were being pinioned behind his
back Walker was oursing the com¬
mander and using abusive language.
He was in a violent condition, m the
struggle made in getting him under
