A. Not to my knowledge--so far as I saw. I only stayed a few minutes, and went over into the round-house and carpenter shop. I went into, I believe, where D. O. Shater had his office, on the east end of the round-house. I went in there, and went in through the round-house into the carpenter shop. Q. Were you on duty during the week prior to the riot? A. Yes. Q. Did you learn of any arrangement among the men for the strike? A. I knew nothing of it until I got out of bed on Thursday, that was the first I heard of it. Q. What time did you get up? A. I generally got up about four or five o'clock. Q. What did you learn then? A. I learned that there was a strike, or that there was going to be a strike. Q. Who informed you? A. I don't remember. Some railroad man. Q. What did he say about it? A. That there had been a strike, or was going to be a strike. Q. You knew of no pre-arranged plan for a strike? A. No. Q. Had you noticed any influx of strangers into the city prior to that time? A. I had noticed a great many. Q. What class of men? A. They appeared to be tramps--fellows hunting for work, but who didn't want it. Q. Any more than there had been previously? A. Yes; that week there had been a great many traveling back and forward on the streets. Q. A great many all the time are traveling, are they not? A. Not as many as that week, I don't think. Q. Did you have any conversation with those tramps? A. No. Q. What do you do with the tramps who come into the city here? A. We don't do anything at present. By Mr. Larrabee: Q. What was the first day you noticed more tramps than usual? A. It appeared to be the beginning of the week of the riot--for six or eight days previous. Q. You noticed it before the strike commenced? A. Yes, sir. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. You did not do anything with those tramps who gathered and collected? A. We had not for some time. Q. You allowed them to come in and go away when they choose? A. Yes. By Mr. Larrabee: Q. Where had you noticed this extra influx of tramps? A. I had noticed it on Penn street, particularly. A great many were going in and out. They would ask me where there was a place to stay over night, or if they could stay at the station-house, and I always directed them to the Young Men's Home. Q. Did they come there in larger numbers than usual--that is, in larger crowds than six or eight or ten? A. Sometimes I would see one or two, and then six, and they increased to as high as eight in a party. Q. In a party? A. In a bunch. By Senator Yutzy: Q. How soon were you up to the round-house after the troops vacated it? A. In eight or ten minutes. Q. Did you go through the round-house or the shops? A. Yes. Q. Were any of those buildings on fire? A. The machine shop was on fire--thirty or forty feet on the east side--that is, sixty feet from the east end of the round-house.
