These stones were thrown right through into this company coming up. Then I heard a pistol shot fired, and probably two or three seconds after that three or four other pistols shots were fired just like that, [illustrating,] and then I saw two or three of the soldiers go down. Then the stones began to fly down along the line, in among the soldiers, and the firing first began right across the railroad track. I don't know what company or regiment it was, but they had black feathers. They were right in front of this square, and the first musket firing began there. I noticed that. Then I heard, probably a dozen of boys hallo shoot! shoot! down along the line, then the pistol shots began, and the musket shots began, and I got down in a ditch behind where I was, and staid there until it was all over. By Senator Yutzy: Q. This call of shoot, shoot, where did it come from? A. I won't be sure about that. I saw some of the officers strike up the guns with their swords, and I saw some pulling of the men backwards inside the square. Then, just right after that, there was a general volley right along the line. Q. A volley or a scattering fire? A. File firing--each man for himself. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Did you hear any order given by any officer to fire? A. No; nor do I believe any order was given. I say that, for the reason that, had there been an order or command given, there would have been simultaneous firing, but it seemed to me, when the fighting commenced, that everybody was taking care of himself. By Senator Reyburn: Q. That is, they were protecting themselves from something that was going to injure them? A. No; but as fast as a man got his gun loaded he would fire, and as fast as the others could get a brick they would throw it. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. What effect did the firing of the soldiers produce on the crowd? A. Right by me, on my right hand an old man, and a little girl on my left hand, were shot dead. I got into the ditch, and I know it was full--the ditch. By Mr. Means: Q. It was not a regular volley of musketry? A. No; it was every fellow for himself. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Do you know how many persons were killed there? A. No; but when I came up from the ditch--it is not a regular ditch, but a wash down the hillside--when I raised up, somebody else was shot, and I got down again. When I raised up the second time everything was quiet. I looked down over the bank, and several men were lying there dead. Q. You say that an old gentleman was killed? A. Yes. Q. And that a little girl was killed? A. No; she was shot right through the knee, and I pulled her down into the ditch and tied a handkerchief around her leg. There was a physician there--I think Dr. Schnatterly, of Bellevue, and he took charge of her, and I heard she died that night. By Mr. Reyburn: Q. This crowd standing there--what business did they have there? A. They had no business there. By Mr. Yutzy:
