A. We returned home at ten o'clock Monday morning, I think it was. Q. During the day, Sunday, were you interfered with by the mob? A. They spoke to us, and a drunken fellow told us, if we played on the railroad property, that they would blow our heads off. Q. Were you protected by the police? A. The police was a disorganized body--no two of them were together, I don't believe. I never saw over two together the whole day. Q. Did you call on the police for protection? A. I didn't. Q. Did the police offer you any protection? A. Not that I know of. Q. Did Officer Daniel Motts say anything to you at any time? A. Daniel Motts and a man named Coulston came to us before the round-house caught on fire, about one o'clock that night, and asked us what we were standing there for, and not throwing any water. I said that the mob wouldn't allow us, and they said, I believe, they would protect us. I said, I am not the proper person, as the chief is here, and as we have orders to stand here and wait further orders. But the way they spoke to me, I thought it was in a joking way, because the only protection they could offer wouldn't have amounted to anything. I told them I was not the proper person, that the chief was there. Q. Did they ask you to play upon any particular point of the fire, and say they would protect you? A. No; they didn't. The cars were burning above the round-house at the time, but the round-house was not burning at the time. Q. Did you see the troops come out? A. No; but I saw them after they came out. Q. How soon did you get up there after the troops went out? A. In about twenty minutes or twenty-five minutes. Q. Was the round-house on fire when you got there? A. It was burning bad. Q. Was it burning before they came out? A. Yes; that is what chased them out. I understood afterwards that they came out of the carpenter shop. Q. Was the carpenter shop burned afterwards? A. That I cannot say. We were ordered away below that again. Q. What became of the crowd when the troops came out? A. They ran pell mell, and fell over each other. The troops could have marched down Liberty street and drove them. The mob were cowards when daylight shown on them. They had plenty of guns, but not much ammunition for them. They were drunk, and that was what gave courage to the most of them. Q. Those drunken men, when daylight came, what became of them? A. They staggered off, and went to sleep or something. They had plenty of liquor. Q. How many were engaged in firing the cars during the day--Sunday? A. Not over ten or twelve men. Some of them were boys fourteen or fifteen years of age. The most conspicuous man was a man with one arm. Q. Were you close? A. I was; at Twenty-first and Liberty street. Q. Did you follow down with your department? A. When the fire broke out down below amongst the cars we were ordered further down. We went then to Twelfth and Liberty streets, that is from Twenty-first to Twelfth.
