On May 15, 1856, the 2nd Committee of Vigilance was formed, and by May 17, the committee had gained 2500 members. The collected guns and began to conduct "army" drills.[citation needed] The following day, 3,000 armed members of the committee took Charles and James P. Casey.[16] On 1856 May 18, in Sacramento, Governor Johnson, in response,[11] appointed William Tecumseh Sherman as the Major-General commanding of the San Francisco division of the California State Militia.[citation needed] The related case of James Casey (who had shot newspaper editor James King of William in an assassination attempt) prompted the committee to aim a cannon at the jail and demand the release of Charles and Casey.[17][18][19][12][20][21]
