A. I did when he came into the city, at eight o'clock on that evening. Q. What evening? A. Thursday evening. Q. What did the mayor say? A. He said he didn't know where he could get the policemen. Our intention in calling the police was simply to protect property from getting stolen. Q. Did he make a demand upon the citizens of the city to join the police force at any time? A. We made a demand--certainly we did. Q. When? A. On Sunday night, for instance, when I made a call upon the citizens to volunteer to protect the water works of the city. Q. Had you made any demand prior to that Sunday night? A. I cannot say. I know of that for a fact. By Senator Yutzy: Q. What demand? A. He said, how many people will volunteer to protect the water-works of the city, and I ask for volunteers. As I understood, they intended to burn them down. Out of some two hundred men, four responded, I think. He said he understood they were in danger. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. But he summoned no posse from the citizens of the city during the riots, did he? A. I don't know that he did. Q. How many of those discharged policemen were at the city hall on Thursday when those ten men went out? A. I cannot say how many were there. They were in and out, being paid off. I cannot say how many. Quite a number of them, I know. Q. How many could you have got to go out there at that time, do you think? A. We got all we could. Q. To go voluntarily? A. Yes; I know, personally, I used every exertion I could, and I know Mr. Davis was out hunting up men. Q. Were you out there during the riots at any time? A. I was out on Friday. Q. At what point? A. At Twenty-eighth street. Q. How large a crowd was there? A. At the time I was there I suppose probably a thousand people were there. Q. How many were engaged in the riotous proceedings? A. None that I saw. Q. What were they doing at that time? A. They were assembled there listening to a speech made by Doctor Donnelly, counseling moderation, and advising those not connected with the railroad to go home and attend to their own business. Some other speeches were made by one or two more. Q. What was the effect of the speech upon the crowd? A. I don't know that it had any effect. It had no special effect particularly one way or another. Q. Did they listen to it? A. Yes. Q. Did they make any response to it in any way? A. Some response was made to Doctor Donnelly when he counseled those having no business there to go home. Some of them made some remarks from the outside of the crowd--that is enough now, you just stop there; and things of that kind. Q. What time did the mayor return from Castle Shannon? A. Shortly after eight o'clock. It may have been eight and a half o'clock. Q. Where did he remain during the night? A. In the office, I think. Q. All night? A. I can't say, for I didn't stay there. Q. Where was the mayor Friday, during the day?
