A. Along about twelve o'clock probably, and about five it got worse. The work shops and all the mills, as a general thing, shut down about three o'clock on Saturday. I suppose that helped to increase the crowd. Q. Were you among the crowd during Saturday night? A. No. Q. Were you present at Twenty-eighth street when the firing of the soldiers took place? A. I was between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth streets when they began to shoot--about half way. Q. You were in sight so that you could see? A. Yes. Q. Did you hear any orders given to fire? A. No; I was not near enough to hear, but I saw one or two missiles thrown from the hillside and the shooting began after that. Q. By whom were the missiles thrown? A. I cannot say that; they came from the thick part of the crowd on the hillside. Q. Was there any firing before the missiles were thrown? A. I don't remember; it was a little after. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Did it appear to be pistol shots or musketry? A. I cannot tell. Q. Were any shots fired from the hill? A. I cannot tell whether they came from the hill or from the soldiers. There were some scattering shots, and then a kind of general volley. Q. Were those shots pistol shots or musket shots? A. I cannot tell. Q. What effect did the firing have upon the crowd? A. It appeared to drive them back for a while. Q. Which way did they go? A. They scattered in all directions--some went north, south, east, and west--in every direction--the best way they could get out. Q. Did it clear the track? A. It cleared the track for a while. Q. For what distance? A. Near down to Twenty-eighth street--that is about the only place that was obstructed. Q. When did the mob begin to reassemble after that? A. It took place somewhere along about six o'clock, I suppose. I was not there. Q. When were you there next? A. Sunday morning when I came in everything was on fire--was burning--seven and a half o'clock. Q. How far? A. To Twenty-eighth street. Q. From what point? A. What we call the south yard--the tracks south of the main track between Lawrenceville and Twenty-eighth street--they were burning, and they were burning the upper round-house then. I was along on the hill side, within sight of the track, from seven and a half that morning until eight o'clock that night. Q. Where were the soldiers or troops? A. They had left there then, and went into the work-house, I believe. They left the round-house between five and six o'clock in the morning. Q. What took place during the day of Sunday--how large was the crowd Sunday morning? A. The crowd that was burning? Q. Engaged in actual riotous conduct? A. There were these right in the yard--there appeared to be somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand people. I cannot tell whether they all belonged to the crowd or not. They appeared to be following after it--breaking the cars open and taking out what they wanted, and then setting fire to them. Q. Who was breaking open the cars?
