Such shouts went up that the Chief of police rose from his seat and went to the door and made himself stiff and straight and hoped thereby to frighten them into silence. Far from this, they shouted more loudly than ever. He hesitated a moment and then shouted back at them, whereupon they shouted still more so that he could not be heard. He hesitated and then turned back into the room.
That had to be loud clamor. The crowd was mad enough to do an act of compulsion. this part is about a wife how was mistaken and was afflicted with being beat. And the crowd new her and was trying to stop it. Which in the end they did.

Taylor, I'd like to see you go back and proofread this. I think "calmer" should be "clamor." Compulsion is a noun, not an adjective, so the crowd could follow a compulsion, or be forced by compulsion to do something, but we can't use compulsion as a describer for the noun "act." Capitalize the beginnings of sentences. You've got a "how" where a "who" should be. Beat should be beaten. What did you intend where you have used "newer"? The last sentence is not a sentence. Attack it again, Taylor. See you soon.
