Q. Did I understand you to say that all the trains, both passenger and freight, were running on Saturday? A. Yes; we sent out the night trains on Saturday evening, after the trouble had commenced. Q. Was the same order issued by your company that was issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as to running double headers? A. There was no necessity for it on our road. Q. The only reduction in any way was the ten per cent. reduction, on the 1st of June, on your road? A. Yes. Q. Had you any reason to apprehend any strike, prior to the breaking out of the one here among your men? A. No; I had an assurance from quite a number that they would not go into the strike. Q. Did you receive any order from Colonel Grey upon Captain Patterson to furnish you with men? A. I think that is the order I referred to. I went and saw General Brown, and he gave me an order to Captain Patterson, to get the men together and report for duty at Verona shops. Q. On Tuesday? A. Yes; I am not sure whether it was Monday night or Tuesday. My recollection is, it was Monday night, but probably it was Tuesday. Q. Did he give you the order when you first saw him--the first time he was called upon? A. I was to see him two or three times during that period, and I am not positive about it. I think it was the second time; it may have been the first. I am not positive. Q. Did he make any refusal the first time you saw him? A. I explained to him, that we had a guard of seventy-five men, that we had organized ourselves at Verona, among whom were some of the Verona company, but they had no ammunition. I think that the General said to me, if I could get that company together, he would let it remain, but he could not send any troops from the city hall. Q. Did he state his reasons? A. He deemed it more important to keep the command together than to separate them. Q. Did you make any application to the mayor or sheriff of the county for aid? A. No; we did not need it until after the riot. It was only from the desire to protect our men who were willing to work. And I had been advised on Monday or Tuesday of some incendiary speech, made among the miners, and I looked for some trouble among them. Q. Was any of the property of the Allegheny Valley railroad destroyed? A. Nothing but a baggage car at Union depot and the tracks running in front of the round-house where we approached Union depot. Q. Had you any number of cars there at the time the burning occurred? A. I think we had about two hundred south of Forty-third street. Q. Were any of them laden with freight? A. Some with ore; the merchandise cars I removed Sunday night myself. Word was sent to me that the men were going to burn the freight station. Q. Were you interfered with in any way? A. No. Q. In the interviews you had with your men before the strike--between the 1st of June and the strike--what reasons did the men give for their anticipated strike?
