Imagine getting gunned down just for being a bystander - he was not even participating in the mob, and according to the report, had no knowledge of prior events.

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.
