Q. Do you know who set the first on fire?
A. No, sir; I could not say, I heard them say it was small boys done it. It was right back of our office it first started. The time I saw it there was first one car on fire, and they started to run oil cars down against it.
Q. Were you there during the time, Thursday or Friday, when the police force came out?
