Were you sheriff of Allegheny county last July? A. Yes. Q. How long have you been sheriff? A. Two years the first Monday of last January. Q. State what knowledge you have of the disturbance of the peace that commenced on the 19th of July last? A. On the 19th of July last I had been out of the city during a part of that day, and came home late in the evening. I went to my house, and remained there until sometime in the night. I had been sleeping, I think. About eleven o'clock, between that and twelve o'clock---- Q. Thursday night? A. Yes. Mr. Scott--that is Mr. John Scott--Mr. Watt, and another gentleman--I do not recollect his name--came to the house. I came down and admitted them into the parlor. They told me of the trouble they had--that Mr. Watt had been assaulted, and that a large crowd was out there. They wished me to go out and see what I could do. I told them I would go, and I put my coat on, and called one of my deputies--Mr. Haymaker--and we started down to Union depot. There we met General Pearson, and he went with us out to one of the offices--I do not know just what office--and then General Pearson and Mr. Watt--I think Mr. Watt went along, or some other gentleman connected with the railroad--and I went up to Twenty-eighth street. Q. What time did you arrive at Twenty-eighth street?
