A. In and out the office all day, so far as I know. I know he was there. Q. Was any effort made to increase the police force on Friday? A. Not that I know of. Q. Nor on Saturday? A. No. Q. When were the discharged men placed back on the police force? A. They were not placed back on the police force until Monday. I think Monday a number of them reported for duty. A committee of councils, or councils held a session on Sunday morning; but there was so much confusion that nothing was done. The police force was not replaced until Monday or Tuesday; that is, the additional men. By Mr. Means: Q. Where is the mayor at the present time? A. In Philadelphia, I believe. He has left a note that he would be home to-morrow. Q. What was said about these men being paid? A. There was some conversation about the railroad company--that it would have to pay these men, because the men were not on the pay-rolls of the city at the time. Q. Did the mayor make that inquiry of Mr. Watt, as to who would pay? A. I know there was some conversation on that subject. Q. Did or did not the mayor say to you that it was necessary for the officers of the railroad to go out of town, that their lives were in jeopardy? A. No. Q. Did anybody else say so? A. No. Q. Did you ever hear it said? A. No; only after the riots. I understood they left town for fear of that, and I was rather astonished to find that some of them had been out of town. Q. Did anybody there state to you that General Pearson had better go out of town? A. No. Q. Did you know of his being out of town? A. No. Q. Did you know of any of those railroad officers being out of town? A. No; only subsequently. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Did any of the citizens call upon the mayor, requesting him to put on an additional force? A. Well, I guess--I do not know that. They did not up to Saturday afternoon, until the time of this firing. Q. Didn't they do it on Friday? A. No. Q. On Saturday? A. Not that I know of. Q. Did they offer to become responsible for the payment of the additional police? A. When? Q. Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? A. I never heard of it at all. I never heard any such an offer made. The committee of public safety afterwards agreed to pay a certain number of men on the police force from that time until the end of the year. Q. When did they make that proposition? A. I think Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, but it was after all the trouble had occurred, so far as I know anything of it. Q. You know nothing of any such offer having been made on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? A. No. Q. Were you with the mayor during those days? A. Off and on, Friday and Saturday. On Sunday I was at the central station until twelve o'clock, noon. We had about one hundred and twenty-five prisoners there Sunday morning, and it took all my attention until noon that day to get through with the business. Q. What were they arrested for?
