A. Not many of them. A portion of them were, but not many. They were the bad elements of society from all parts of the city, and from some parts of the county, in connection with thieves and blackguards from other parts of the country. A great many strangers were there. I made that remark to one of the railroad officials, that the crowd was not composed entirely of our people, and he differed with me, and I gave this answer at the time--I said "These are not our people, for I claim to know as many men in Allegheny county as any other man in it, and they are strangers here that I never saw." Some females were there, or ladies, the worst I ever saw. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. You speak now of Thursday night? A. Yes; my first introduction to the crowd. I remained some time, trying to get them to disperse. They did not offer me any violence, but refused to go, and said they would die there sooner than they would be driven off. One man there, who appeared to be a leader, had served two terms in the penitentiary. I knew him by sight. He appeared to be a leader. He was not a railroad man, and I do not think ever had been. Q. What was his name? A. He was killed on Saturday morning, by the Philadelphia soldiers, and, probably, I had better not name him. He amused himself up to Saturday morning annoying everybody, and was shot on Saturday morning. I became satisfied, that no force I had or could convene could hold that crowd there then, or the crowd that would likely be there in the morning. So I telegraphed to the Governor. Q. What time was that? A. It was after midnight. I suppose, about two o'clock. Q. Friday morning? A. Yes; I suppose so. I cannot give the exact time. By Senator Reyburn: Q. It was during that night? A. Yes; about two o'clock. I telegraphed to the Secretary of the Commonwealth and to the Adjutant General. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Have you copies of those telegrams? A. I think I have in my safe. Q. I wish you would give us copies of them? A. I will do so. I received an answer sometime after that that he had ordered General Pearson to call out one regiment of volunteers to assist in putting down the riot. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Who was this from?
