A. Yes; or mine, and he agreed with it. Q. What time was that? A. About supper time. Q. Where was he during the day Friday? A. I remember seeing him in the office. Q. Did you receive any instructions from him during the day in regard to this disturbance at Twenty-eighth street? A. No; there was no disturbance there during that day. There was a crowd there, and the military were there. Q. Where was the mayor during Friday night? A. I cannot answer that. Q. Where was he on Saturday? A. On Saturday he was in the office. In and out as usual. At the time we got the report of the firing he was in the office, I know, because he sent for me and asked me to take a couple of men out Penn avenue, and close all the saloons in the vicinity of this disturbance. Q. What time was that? A. I think along about four o'clock. Q. Four o'clock on Saturday he asked you to take two men out and close all the saloons in what district? A. You mean what police district? Q. Yes. A. The third police district. Q. Extending over how much space? A. Over the city in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth street. We closed all the saloons there from Thirtieth to Twenty-fourth street. We then came in and sent another squad out to close the balance. Q. How far? A. Down to Eleventh street. Q. Had you received any instructions from him during the day, (Saturday before this,) in regard to the disturbance out there? A. No. Q. The saloons had been open out there until three or four o'clock on Saturday? A. Yes; they were open at the time we went there. Q. What time did you arrive there? A. I can't tell. It was immediately after hearing of the firing. We walked up Liberty street as fast as we could. Q. You went with the two men, and saw that your orders were executed? A. We went in and asked these men, and told them it was the request of the mayor to have them close their saloons. Q. Did they comply? A. Most generally. Q. During the day, Sunday, did you receive any orders from the mayor? A. No; except I was out with him at the scene of action in the afternoon. The mayor was out there before daylight, and I was out there myself. I came in about six or seven o'clock, and got my breakfast, and went out at ten o'clock, and then I found the mayor there. Q. Did you receive any orders during Sunday night from the mayor? A. Nothing, except about handling the police, in trying to prevent the mob getting into those stores. Q. What did you do to prevent that? A. They called some of the south side police over, and had them doing duty around in places where they anticipated there might be a break made, but there was considerable damage done before the police arrived. Q. What damage was done before the police arrived? A. A couple of stores were gutted, on Penn avenue and on Liberty street. Q. What kind of stores? A. The one on Penn avenue was a pawnbroker's and the one on Liberty street was a gun shop. Q. Do you know who broke open the stores?
