A. I know of but one man thus far that I have been able to recognize, and I know their faces. For instance, I can generally tell an employé of the road here--in a great many cases. But I do not know them all by name. There are one or two now under indictment that I have not seen since the riot. I expect to recognize one when I am called on to give my testimony. By Senator Reyburn: Q. Do you know of any requisition being made on the mayor of Pittsburgh or the sheriff of the county for a force to protect the company's property prior to the arrival of the military, and if so, did either of them respond to the call made? A. The only requisition that I know of, to my personal knowledge, was the telegram that I sent myself, that I spoke of before, in which I requested the mayor, in Mr. Watt's name, to send fifty additional policemen at once. From the number of policemen we had that afternoon, I should judge that perhaps eight or ten came. I know of no other requisition of my own knowledge. By Senator Yutzy: Q. You know of no requisition being made on the sheriff, of your own personal knowledge? A. I do not. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. How large was the vigilance committee that was organized--that you were at the head of? A. There were a number of them. Mine was only one of the number. I had, I should judge, over a hundred men immediately under my command. Some were armed with their own arms. Q. When was this committee organized? A. The first meeting was held on Sunday evening. I was absent, but I was informed the following morning that they had held a meeting, and we were under arms that day. Q. Monday? A. Yes, sir. Q. Were there any other such vigilance committees organized? A. Yes. One was formed on my right and another on my left, in the East End, and I am told there were others in the city. By Mr. Means: Q. You have stated that you were advised to go away for safety? A. Yes, sir. Q. Was it a railroad employé or was it railroad employés, or a citizen or citizens that advised you and Mr. Pitcairn to leave the city? A. I do not know who advised Mr. Pitcairn. The advice was given to me by myself. I was not with Mr. Pitcairn at the time. To my recollection, I think the notice was given to me by Mr. Elder, the night depot master. Q. A railroad employé? A. Yes. Various of my friends and citizens generally, advised me to leave afterwards. Q. They considered your life in danger, if you remained? A. Yes. I had notice sent to my house that I had better leave the city. They said they were going to burn the house. Q. Was the intimation that Mr. Pitcairn's life was in danger along with the rest? A. Yes; Mr. Pitcairn's, Mr. Watt's, Mr. Cassatt's, and mine. By Senator Reyburn: Q. Was any attempt made to interfere with your property or to burn your house? A. Nothing. Q. The mob did not go there? A. It was too far away. By Mr. Means:
