A. Nothing; no, sir; nothing but what is patent to everybody. I had no special facilities for learning anything. Everybody had their own opinion. I was not on the ground prior to Sunday.
Q. Do you know whether this mounted citizens' police force went out of the city, and patrolled the streets leading to the city?
A. That is my impression. I was not with them, but I think they did.
Q. Along the lines of the Pan Handle railroad.
A. Yes; we were a good deal concerned about the Pan Handle road. There were rumors come to the committee that there was very imminent danger of them burning the cars in the tunnel and other points out the Pan Handle road. I think, however, you can glean the facts pertaining to the committee better from Mr. Johnson, who is chairman of that committee. He has examined the minutes, I think, and has charged his memory with the details.
Q. Do you know whether any men were arrested or not that attempted to come in on that road by this citizens' police force?
A. No, sir; my opinion is very vague on that point.
Q. Was not there some disturbance on Monday on some of your streets here in the city?
A. There was a good deal of turbulence all over the city. I remember one instance now. The committee was sent after some guns, and while they were being brought down Market street there was a halt made. They stopped the gun carriages, and somebody went up and boldly spiked the guns, which created a good deal of excitement for the moment.
Q. The crowd spiked the guns?
