December 1875 CE

McParland believes his daily reports had been made available to the anti-Molly vigilantes.

Benjamin Franklin, McParland's Pinkerton supervisor, declares himself "anxious to satisfy [McParland] that [the Pinkerton Agency has] nothing to do with [the vigilante murders.]"

McParland is prevailed upon not to resign.

Frank Wenrich, a first lieutenant with the Pennsylvania National Guard, is arrested as the leader of the vigilante attackers, but released on bail.

Another miner, Hugh McGeehan, a twenty-one-year-old who had been secretly identified as a killer by McParland, is fired upon and wounded by unknown assailants.

Later, the McGeehan family's house is attacked by gunfire.
