Ironically, and perhaps sadly, Gov. Hicks had gone directly to Lincoln pleading for help to avoid a situation like this.
More dead (from the link), though I have read the number of dead/wounded was never officially totaled:
The following is a complete list of killed and wounded in the riot: Citizens killed--Robert W. Davis, Philip S. Miles, John McCann, John McMahon, William R. Clark, James Cart, Francis Maloney, Sebastian Gill, William Maloney, William Reed, Michael Murphy. Patrick Griffith. Citizens wounded--F. X. Ward,--Coney, James Myers, boy name unknown. Soldiers killed--Addison O. Whitney, a young mechanic of Lowell, Mass.; Luther C. Ladd, another young mechanic from Lowell; Charles A. Taylor, a decorative painter of Boston; and Sumner H. Needham, a plasterer by trade. And many soldiers wounded.
Of course he can say things like that. That is why I provided the link. But like every story, when you dig a little deeper, the facts become more apparent.
