A. Since then I know of one party that was a leader in it. But I do not know the others. Q. Were any policemen in the vicinity at the time? A. No; at that time there were no police on duty. They didn't go on duty until eight o'clock. Q. Were any policemen on duty throughout the city during the day, Friday? A. No. Q. During the day, Saturday, throughout the city, I mean? A. No. Q. They were not on duty until eight o'clock, Saturday night? A. No. Q. Then these stores were broken open before eight o'clock? A. Yes; that is, the first two. Q. When there were no policemen on duty? A. Yes. Q. When did the mayor put on any day force, or was there any day force on Sunday? A. On Saturday night I put a notice, by the order of the mayor, into two of the Sunday papers, to have all those ex-policemen report at eleven o'clock on Sunday, but got very few reports. Q. How many reports did you get? A. I do not remember now--not probably over fifteen or twenty reported in time. Q. Were they placed on duty during Sunday? A. Yes. Q. Were there any policemen on duty throughout the city on Sunday? A. Yes. Q. How many? A. Well, the third district had some of the south side police on duty on Sunday night, in the vicinity of Twenty-eighth street, and the police there I brought in on Sunday morning, and got their breakfasts, and sent them out again. Some of them strayed off, of course. Q. As chief of police, can you not give us the number of policemen on duty during Sunday, in the whole city? A. I do not think there were more than eighty. That is, we got more men on as it grew later in the day. Q. This notice you placed in the papers was merely a request for the discharged police force to report at eleven o'clock? A. Yes; I had the orders, and I think the mayor had consulted with the committee of safety, or some one who assured him they would be responsible for the pay of the police, and would see that the police stayed on. Q. What time did you get that notice into the papers? A. It was given to the papers on Saturday night. Q. Was it published in the evening editions? A. It was published in the _Globe_ and _Leader_ of Sunday morning. Q. By whom was the notice signed? A. By myself. Q. As chief of police? A. Yes. Q. You say you got very few reports? A. Very few; that is, at eleven o'clock. Q. During Sunday night how many police did you have on duty? A. I had all the old force, and I expect, perhaps, about forty or fifty of the discharged men. Q. That would make about one hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty men during Sunday night? A. Yes. Q. How many did you have on duty during the day--Monday? A. Well, those policemen came reporting in one after another from Sunday until Tuesday, and they never went off duty at anytime from Sunday night, from the time they went on, until about Wednesday, I guess. Q. Where did the mayor spend the day--Sunday? A. Along Liberty street, part of the day. By Senator Reyburn:
