The officers simply instructed the clerks to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many believe that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then fight for places near the clerks’ windows. Clothing was torn, legs and arms broken, but the crowd continued for hours.
