The route of the mob to the village was down the extension of Fourth Avenue, and when they bad made their short march they went to Gould's Hotel, where they consumed a great deal of liijuor. They were dissuaded from fightiug by prominent citizens of the place, among whom the names of Judge Stevens, Judge Pemberton, George (iould and Darius Lyon are mentioned, as the men who really saved Mount Vernon from a bloody riot.

As the rioters came along, they pressed into the service every man they met on the road.

On their return they passed by the houses of John G. Satterlcy and John F. Jarvis, who then resided at wliat was afterwards known .is " The Corson Place." Part of tlieui were on foot and part driving in all sorts of vehicles. Part had guns or pistols, a few old swords, but the majority had nothing but clubs made out of fence pickets. In front of Mr. Satterley's house, and in plain sighi of Mr. Jarvis's, they had a drunken fight, in which some .shots were fired, of which more than one struck the porch pillars of Mr. .Satterley's house. A club, in the coni-se of this fight, was thrown over Mr. Satterley's fence into his garden, and was kept, for some years after, by the family, as a relic of the draft riots.

The witnesses exaniiued by rae, in investigating the aSaii', unite in their stories as to the above facts.

They are Mr. A. B. Kitson, of 37 South St., Boston, Mass. (then a member of the Mount Vernon Home Guards) ; Mrs. Higgins, of Mount Vernon (at the time of riot Miss Eva Satterley) ; Mrs. John G. Satterley, her mother ; Mr. John F. Jarvis, of Mount Vernon ; and Mr. Joseph H.
