"taken into custody, and held over for trial--with arms in their hands"

"A riot took place on the rail road from Baltimore to Washington, (about four miles from the latter), last week. Five or six Germans were wounded by muskets, and other deadly weapons; and 11 Germans and 1 Frenchman taken into custody, and held over for trial--with arms in their hands. The riot had commenced about a demand for higher wages. They had made an assault upon those who were content with the wages paid them."
