A. I don't know what part of it, but they set it on fire from Liberty street. They had a hose there, and were throwing water all night. They ran the cars down and tried to set it on fire, but it was all right until the fire got under them. Q. You say the troops had hose, and kept the fire out until it got under them and drove them out? A. Yes. Q. Do you know of any oil that was run under them? A. I don't know that. All I know is, that some liquor was there burning. Q. How soon did you get to the round-house, after the troops left? A. As soon as we could. Q. How extensive was the fire then in the round-house? A. It was big, and there were lumber yards across the street all afire. Q. Was the carpenter shop on fire? A. I don't know whether the carpenter shop was or not. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Were any buildings attached to the round-house on fire, or buildings near it? A. Yes. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. How large was the crowd when the troops came out? A. I don't know how large. Q. What did the crowd do when the troops marched out? A. They were taking a walk--nobody interfered with the troops. Everybody tried to get out of their road. Q. And get away? A. Yes. Q. In what direction did the crowd go? A. I don't know. Q. The crowd didn't attempt to attack the troops? A. No. Q. During the day--Sunday and Sunday night--were you interfered with by the crowd in throwing water? A. Yes--frequently. Q. To what extent? A. Different parties kept coming constantly, so that we couldn't do anything. They said: "Don't you throw any water on the railroad property, or we will blow the heads off of you." It was not just one man, but they kept reminding you of it all the time. By Senator Reyburn: Q. They allowed you to play on private property? A. Yes; I turned a stream on the cars at Union depot, when I suppose twenty revolvers were shot at me. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Did you call on the police force for protection? A. I would have had to call a good while before I would have got any. I didn't see many of them. Q. Did they offer any protection to you? A. Not to me, they didn't. Q. Did Officer Daniel Motts speak to you at any time, offering to protect you? A. He spoke to me several times during the night, but never offered me any protection. There was no occasion to offer me any, as both the chiefs were there. Q. And he didn't offer you any protection? A. No. By Senator Yutzy: Q. Did he give you any protection? A. Not that I know of. By Mr. Lindsey: Q. Did he tell you, if you would commence playing on a certain point, that the police would protect you? A. He didn't. By Senator Reyburn: Q. Did any police officer? A. No. By Mr. Means: Q. In your examination, you have stated that you went to the round-house as soon as you could, after the troops left? A. Yes; and went into service. Q. How long was it after the troops left until you got playing upon the fire at the round-house?
