By Senator Yutzy: Q. How many officers and men does the night force consist of? A. The whole force was one hundred and twenty men--nine of them were engaged in the station-houses, and ten of them watched lamps--patrolmen, detectives, and all. That was for the whole city. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. How many men were discharged from the day force? A. One hundred and sixteen men were discharged. Our whole force consisted of two hundred and thirty-six men, all told. The appropriation ran out, and we had to knock the men off. By Senator Reyburn: Q. What reason was given by the officer for not serving the warrants? He had them one night, had he not? A. We did not get the houses all located. It seems they were out that night, and we could not get them served, and the next morning we were ordered not to serve them. The case was put into the hands of the sheriff on Friday, I think. By Senator Yutzy: Q. While you had those warrants for the arrest of those ten men, could you not have arrested them? A. I do not think, with the few men we could have got, that we could have arrested them out there, on account of those men out there. It might have made the thing worse if we had attempted to arrest them on the ground. I thought it was better to arrest them away from there. Q. Did you attempt to locate them at their homes that night--you did not go to their homes? A. No; we did not go to their homes, but we got information from the parties who made the information. By Senator Reyburn: Q. Did you have any arrangement to watch those men? A. From all accounts, the men seemed to be in the crowd. We had no one watching their houses that night, because we did not find out that night were they all lived. Q. Did you not have men to watch these men or follow them around? A. No, sir; not to my knowledge. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Didn't you see some of these men out there on Friday? A. I did not. I was not out there. By Senator Reyburn: Q. How did you expect to know that these men went to their homes, if you did not follow them or have them watched? A. The warrants were withdrawn before we located the men. Q. What efforts were you making to locate them? A. We were making inquiries from parties who knew them. Q. Were you trying all the time to find out where they were? A. We asked the parties who made the information. We wanted to locate them all, and to make the arrests. We did not expect to arrest them in the crowd. We thought we could not do it there. By Mr. Engelbert: Q. Did you have any spotters out in the crowd at all? A. Several of the officers there saw the different parties, and what they did. Or, if information was made against them, we had them arrested and tried. Some of them are not tried yet. Any of the officers who knew any men, or saw them do anything, afterwards made information against them. By Senator Reyburn: Q. The officers reported to you, did they? A. Some of them.
