A. Quite a large number of them.
Q. Do you regard your authority and powers subordinate to those of the sheriff of the county—within the limits of your city, I mean?
A. No, sir. I thought I was the chief executive, and the man the people looked to.
Q. You regard yourself as superior within the limits of the city?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Would you have allowed yourself to have been superseded by the sheriff in authority or power?
A. That is pretty hard to answer. I do not think I would. I thought I was placed there to protect the city by the people, and I would try to do that.
Q. You would do your duty as long as anybody else would?
A. That is my idea.
