Those men who drew slips with a cross marked thereon kept their own counsel, and no one spoke as to who were to do the work. From fifteen to twenty men drew the fatal tickets which compelled them to throw bombs. Just who these were is, of course, difficult to determine. 58 THE CHICAGO RIOT. Tuesday night came, warm and damp. It was dark and starless, and across the somber sky black clouds scudded. With the falling darkness came rugged and roughly dressed men to Haymarket square. The first to co...me in the early evening took up their positions on the four corners of Ran- dolph and Desplaines streets. These were working- men and nearly all foreigners. They appeared on the scene singly, or in small groups, and mingled with the crowd. By eight o'clock a thou- sand men were on the ground. Haymarket square is formed by the widening of West Randolph street and extends from Desplaines street on the east to Halsted street on the west, a distance of two blocks ; Union street crosses it in the center.
