At least 10,000 people turned out at a mass meeting to listen to speeches and view the \"amazing false-bottomed ballot box.\" The sacrilegious object, permanently displayed in the Committee of Vigilance's headquarters, a sandbagged building on Sacramento Street known as Fort Gunnybags, became the movement's icon. Membership in the group swelled to as many as 8,000 men, the largest vigilante movement in U.S. history.”",
