A. No; I cannot say that I did, because it was a secondary consideration in regard to those men. The information was interfering with railroad employés, and we considered it a light matter towards what was going on at Twenty-eighth street--the riotous proceedings. We were kept busy that day and night trying to keep order. Q. Those men were all participating in the riot as leaders when you first went out there? A. I do not know that of my own knowledge, but I, of course, inferred it from the fact of the information made against them. Q. Did you know any of the ten or twelve men that stood around, trying to prevent the arrest of McCall? A. None of them tried to prevent the arrest of McCall. I knew some of them by face and a few by name. Q. Were any of those men's names included in those warrants? A. I believe they were, but I did not have those warrants at the time. Q. You did not get them until that evening or the next morning? A. I think it was the next morning. Q. Then you did not go up to arrest them when you got the warrants? A. Not immediately. It was considered a matter of judgment at the office by the mayor, and, of course, I was under his instructions. Q. You followed the mayor's instructions? A. Not specially his instructions, but chief O'Mara's instructions. I considered it would be easier to serve them afterwards than at the present time. By Mr. Engelbert: Q. When you summoned those men to go out, you did not provide them with maces and equipments as you usually do? A. The police force of this city provide everything for themselves. If they want to carry a pistol, they must provide it. Our maces we buy, and our clothes we buy. The city supplies nothing. At one time the city supplied those things, but now we have got to supply all those things ourselves. We did not think it would be necessary to have them armed at that time. Q. At the time of a row, if the men are armed, it is all right, and if they are not armed, it is all right, too? A. It was a sudden summons, and nobody understood the extent of it. Of course, the gentleman who summoned us, said he did not anticipate any serious trouble at all; that he thought that our official appearance would be sufficient; that the presence of the officers there would be all that was necessary. Q. But you, as an officer, did not exactly believe in official appearance, without something to knock down with in case of a row? A. In case of a riot we ought to be provided with arms; but there was no riot at that time, nor did we anticipate any. [A paper exhibited to witness.] Q. State whether this is the information made upon which the warrants were issued? A. I never saw it. Q. What did you do with the warrants? A. They are still in the office. Q. You returned them to the mayor? A. No; they are still in the closet at the office. I think they are there yet. I may have destroyed them. Q. Do you know the date of the warrants?
