Conflict between the Governor and Police Commissioners. A Wrong becomes a Practical Blessing. Provost Marshals. Riot not anticipated. Bad time to commence the Draft. Preparations of Superintendent Kennedy. The Police System. Attack on Provost Marshal Captain Erhardt. Telegrams of the Police. Kennedy starts on a Tour of Observation.
He stood thus facing the workmen with his pistol for three hours, and finally had to leave without making any arrests. This failure of Colonel Nugent to fulfil his promise and perform his duty came near costing Erhardt his life, and then and there starting the riot.

He attracted the keen interest of several young inmates of the convent who afterwards became his coadjutors, such as John Brenz, Erhardt Schnepf, and Martin Butzer.
