By ten o'clock the Provost Marshal's office on Third Avenue near Forty-seventh Street was entered by the mob, the small official force retreating b}^ a back door, the books and papers destro^^ed and the building burned; although the retiring officers successfully carried away the conscription wheel. Police Superintendent Kennedy, hap2:)ening to be in the neigh- borhood of the fire, without his uniform, approached on foot to look into the matter, was recognized hj the mob, and so brutally beaten... that, running for his life to the nearest police station, he was bat- tered almost to death, before rescue. Police Commissioner Acton met the situation with promptness so far as his limited inadequate force of officers could be made avail- able. He put that body of the mob just before him to rout, since they were armed only with miscellaneous sticks and stones, and summoned officers from the entire city to the police headquarters. Hardly had he done that than the rioters cut down the telegraph jaoles and severed communication between the different parts of the city.
