"So we're going to need men with guts. Gordon, you had training under Murdoch who knew his business. And you aren't a coward, as most of these fat fools are. I've got a proposition, straight from Wayne." "I'm listening." "Here." Trench threw across a platinum badge. "Take that captain at large and conscript any of the Municipal Force you want, up to a hundred.
Murdoch brought "Titus Andronicus," and, with such dominie elocution as we may suppose, began to read it aloud before this rustic audience; but when he had reached the passage where Tamora insults Lavinia, with one voice and "in an agony of distress" they refused to hear it to an end.
He entered the service of the Carnegie Steel Company as a young mechanic at two dollars per day, a perfect copy of Murdoch in many important respects. Reading Murdoch's history, we have found ourselves substituting the "captain," a title well earned on the field in the war for the Union, which he entered as a private.
They rounded up the men of the gang, and one of the cops started off. Murdoch called, "Where are you going?" "To find a phone and call the wagon." "We're not using wagons," Murdoch told him. "Line them up." When the hoods came to, they found themselves helpless, and facing police with clubs. If they tried to run, they were hit from behind; if they stood still, they were clubbed carefully.
If they fought back, the pugnaciousness was knocked out of them at once. Murdoch indicated one who stood with his shoulders shaking and tears running down his cheeks. The captain's face was as sick as Gordon felt. "Take him aside. Names." Gordon found a section away from the others. "I want the name of every man in the gang you can remember," he told the man.

What'll we do with the prisoners?" "Leave 'em; we couldn't get a Croopster locked up tonight for anything." He started ahead, leading the way through the remaining trucks and back to the street that led to Mother Corey's. Murdoch fell in step with him. "This is the first time I've had to look you up," he said. "I've been going out nights to help the citizens organize against the Stonewall gang.
It ought not to be forgotten that Burns had a better education than most lads of his time. Even in the present day many in better positions have not the advantages that Robert and Gilbert Burns had, the sons of such a father as William Burness, and under such an earnest and thoughtful teacher as Mr. Murdoch.
He might as well enjoy what life he still had while he could. The Stonewall gang what was left of it and all its friends would be gunning for him now. The Force wouldn't have been fooled when Izzy paid his pledge, and they'd mark him down as disloyal if they didn't automatically mark down all who'd served under Murdoch.
