Q. It looked as though he was trying to exasperate them?
A. It looked as though he was inviting them to fire. I crossed the track ten minutes after the firing was over. The soldiers seemed to be laying huddled together. This stone throwing was right in among them.
Q. Did you see any of the soldiers struck down by missiles before the firing took place?
A. When the first advance was made, I thought I saw one of them stagger. I cannot tell whether they were hit. After they made the bayonet charge the parties took their hands and threw the guns up.
Q. What was the appearance of the class of men that threw the stones?
A. This I think was a half grown boy that threw the missiles from the back of the house.
Q. A boy?
A. It looked to me. Three or four have grown boys there.
Q. Did you see any men there throwing stones?
A. I don't recollect of seeing any stones throwed, except at this watch-box, until I saw this man, after the firing was all over. The track was perfectly clear when I crossed.
