Dead!

Terror
stalks
New
Rochelle!
Murderer's
demands
revealed!
One—
That
my
car
be
returned
to
me
in
it's
original
condition
Two—
That
the
White
excresence
known
as
Fire
Chief
Will
Conklin
The
one
who
instigated
this
crime
Be
turned
over
to
me
for
my
justice
Nothing
less
Nothing
more
Somewhere
in
the
city
there's
a
madman
waiting!
Standing
in
the
shadows
with
a
gun
in
his
hand!
A
man
of
color
who
is
calmly
stating
Coalhouse
Demands
Coalhouse
Demands
He
demands
(He
demands)
Coalhouse
demands
Who
is
he
to
demand?
He
demands
(He
demands)
Killer
Negro
demands!
About
time
a
Black
man
demanded!
He
calls
Conklin
the
White
Excresence
What's
"excresence"?
Edgar,
go
to
your
room
Three
firemen
were
killed
One
of
them
was
Mrs.
Gallagher's
nephew
Six
more
were
badly
injured
when
the
boiler
exploded
And
one
of
them
will
be
dead
by
tonight
It
was
Coalhouse,
wasn't
it?
I
said
go
to
your
room!
Edgar—
I
told
you
we
haven't
heard
the
last
of
that
Negro!
Coalhouse
Demands!
It's
an
eye
for
an
eye
Call
it
Justice,
friend!
People's
lives
for
a
car
ain't
justice
An
eye
for
an
eye
that
ain't!
He
wants
Willie
Conklin!
"Willie
Konklin"!
He
even
misspelled
my
name
Wouldn't
you
know
it!
(Laughs)
With
a
"K"!
He
can't
take
a
joke,
now
can
he
Sensitive,
ain't
he?
Does
he
think
only
niggers
get
shit?
We
Irish
had
to
get
used
to
it!
You
goddamned
gutless
Mick
Look
what
you've
got
us
into!
You're
gonna
protect
me
Ain't
ya?
Hide
me!
Ain't
ya?
Get
out
of
town,
Will
Before
they
kill
us
all!
What
they
did
to
you
What
they
took
from
you
We
are
one
with
you
Now
the
world
will
know
There
are
Negroes
out
there
To
make
them
listen
We're
all
Coalhouse!
Do
you
have
a
statement
for
us,
Mr.
Washington?
What
do
you
think
of
these
Negro
renegades,
Mr.
Washington?
For
the
sum
of
my
life
I
have
lived
in
hope
We
might
all
be
Christian
brothers
I
have
worked
to
persuade
Every
white-skinned
man
That
they
need
not
fear
our
race!
I
deplore
Mr.
Walker's
actions
And
the
irreparable
harm
he
has
done
to
my
people
And
I
wish
that
I
might
tell
him
Face
to
face
Not
one
of
ours
(Not
one
of
ours)
Never
heard
of
him
We
don't
want
any
trouble
(Don't
want
any
trouble)
Not
one
of
ours
(Not
one
of
ours)
Don't
know
anything
And
I
wouldn't
tell
those
peckerwoods
even
if
I
did!
No
one
knows
what
he
looks
like
(Somewhere
in
the
City)
No
one
knows
where
he
is
(Waiting
in
the
Dark!)
No
one
knows
how
to
stop
him
Somewhere
in
the
city
(Somewhere
in
the
City!)
There's
a
madman
waiting
Standing
in
the
shadows
(Standing
in
the
Shadows!)
With
a
gun
in
his
hand!
A
man
of
color
who
is
calmly
stating
Coalhouse
demands!
We'll
play
them
the
music
Of
something
beginning!
(Somewhere
in
the
City)
An
era
exploding
A
century
spinning
(Coalhouse!)
Listen
to
that
Ragtime!
