A. The crowd around the buildings accumulated so that in front of the office, at the corner of Twenty-sixth and Liberty, and for some distance on either side of it--that being the head-quarters--the office--they had taken possession of Mr. Pitcairn's office for the head-quarters--the crowd was very dense, and packed down Twenty-sixth street, probably half way to Penn, and on Liberty street, in every direction, for a square--an immense crowd of people yelling with rage against the troops. Q. How many would you judge were there at that time? A. Not less than five thousand people. Q. Did they remain in force during all the night? A. I was not there during all the time, but I understood they were constantly accumulating. Q. Until Sunday morning? A. Yes, sir. Q. How large was the crowd on Sunday morning? A. I cannot answer that. I was on the side hill early on Sunday morning, and I could see immense crowds in all directions moving up Liberty street. Q. Can you tell us what the result of that firing, at the point cleared, was as to loss of life? A. I am not prepared to answer that. If you will remember, I was stationed at Twenty-sixth street, and was not at Twenty-eighth street. At the time of the firing, I was with the second brigade of General Brinton's division. There passed me, and were taken into our office, several soldiers belonging to the First regiment, and a boy who was shot down. I should judge a boy about twelve or fourteen years of age. There were two men carrying him. Quite a number of wounded soldiers were taken to the office, and they sent for Doctor Hamilton. Q. Can you state what efforts were made, after the troops were taken into the round-house and the shops, by the officers of the militia to drive back the crowd and disperse it there that night or Sunday morning, or during the day of Sunday? A. When they went into the round-house, I understood they would keep under cover. I do not think, from all I understood, it was the intention of the troops to come into any collision. They felt that they were brought there to protect the movement of trains, and that there would be a guard go out on each train, after having obtained possession of the Twenty-eighth street switches. Q. What time did the firing of cars commence by the mob? A. I cannot answer that from my own knowledge. I believe in the neighborhood of ten o'clock. Q. Saturday night? A. Yes, sir. Q. Was any attempt made by the officers of the troops, or by the civil authorities, either of the county or city, to prevent that, and to drive back the crowd when they began to fire the cars and destroy property? A. I cannot answer that. I did not see any. Q. By any of the authorities? A. I did not see any. By Mr. Engelbert: Q. Did it appear that the citizens were in sympathy with the strikers? A. I am a Pittsburgher. Q. But I ask were the citizens in sympathy with the strikers?
