Q. Were you coming in or going out? A. I was going out on the last trip, at eleven-forty. I told him I was hauling an accommodation train. He told me I could go on, and he got down off the engine. Q. Did they stop you? A. No; they were all standing there, and when I came up--we all have to stop there--he got on the engine. Q. At what point? A. At Twenty-eighth street. Q. How many were standing there then? A. Quite a number--I suppose about thirty-five or forty of them. Q. Did you know any of them? A. I knew him. It was dark, and I couldn't see who the rest were. Q. What was the name of that man? A. D. W. Davis, I think. Q. Did he say anything more to you? A. No; nothing more. He said it was all right, that I could go on, after I told him what I was hauling. Q. What was the manner of the crowd at that time as to their being boisterous or demonstrative? A. Indeed, I could not tell you. We just stop for a couple of minutes, and sometimes not that long. Q. You had no conversation with any other excepting the one who got on your engine? A. That is all. He was discharged off this road a couple of times, and off the Pan-Handle, I believe. Q. Why was he discharged? A. I cannot tell. Q. Where did he live? A. Somewhere about Twenty-eighth street. Q. Did you learn that day, or any time after that, when these parties resolved to strike? A. No. Q. Did you know of any preconceived plan of striking? A. No; I did not. Q. Do you know whether they have a secret organization or not? A. All I heard of was the Train Men's Union--that is all I know of. Q. What is the object of that? A. That I cannot tell you. I never was in any of their meetings, and know nothing about it. Q. Do you know whether there was any other organization? A. The Engineers' Brotherhood. Q. What is the object of that? A. That I cannot tell you. It is something I never belonged to. Q. Did you come in on your regular trip in the morning? A. Yes. Q. Were you molested in any way? A. No. Q. Did you go out on time and come in on time all day Friday? A. Yes, sir. Q. Without being molested? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you run on Saturday? A. Until eight-fifteen, Saturday night. Q. What stopped you then? A. I did not go out at eleven-forty, because I could not get out at eleven-forty. Q. Why? A. The fire was too hot. Q. I suppose you didn't go out for a week or so then? A. I went to work on Tuesday. Q. At what time? A. I think I went out at six-five on Tuesday night. Q. Was there still a crowd about then? A. Yes. Q. How large about? A. I cannot tell how large the crowd was. Q. Had the work commenced then, by the company, in clearing off the tracks--the _debris_? A. Indeed, I cannot tell you whether it had or not. Q. Were you interfered with in any way on Tuesday night when you went out? A. Not on Tuesday night. Q. What was the mob doing at that time on Tuesday night? A. The mob was cleared away then, on Tuesday, partly. Q. Partly, you say?
