Q. What do you mean by through? A. To the destination, wherever it was. By Senator Yutzy: Q. During this time, before the military arrived, was there any considerable effort made on the part of the police to protect you and your men and property? A. No, sir; nothing at all equal to the emergency. Q. What number of policemen were there in force, at any time, to protect you? A. I cannot say that I ever saw a dozen. A small force of police were brought to the outer depot on Thursday, but it was after I had gone to Torrens, and I remained away the remainder of the day. It was after the time that we were trying to get out another train, when the men refused to let it go, and when Mr. Watt was struck. Q. What were the police doing all this time? A. I suppose the police were too weak in numbers. By Senator Reyburn: Q. When you saw them they were inadequate to the emergency? A. Yes; altogether. Q. Up to Saturday night, any train that could have been started would have gone through to its destination? A. No; only on Thursday. After Thursday, I think, no freight train could have gone through, because all the trains were stopped; and even the passenger trains were stopped at East Liberty and Lawrenceville. Q. From the information that the railroad authorities had, they could not have run trains through to their destination? A. I don't think so, after Thursday. The men allowed our trains to come west, but as fast as they came west they prevented them from going east. Adjourned until Monday morning, at ten o'clock.
