By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Where do you reside, Mr. Furlong?
A. I reside in Oil City, Venango county.
Q. Were you in the city of Pittsburgh in July last?
A. I was.
Q. Were you present at the scene of the riots during any of the days?
A. I was. I arrived in the city of Pittsburgh on Friday morning, about nine o'clock, and remained here after that during the riot.
Q. I wish you would state, Mr. Furlong, what knowledge you have of any of the police of the city of Philadelphia having fired upon any of the troops, the soldiers?
A. Well, while working in my capacity of detective officer, I was called to Philadelphia—the city of Philadelphia—to get evidence in regard to certain things that occurred during the riot. While there, I received information that some of the mayor's police had fired on the Philadelphia soldiers during their retreat on Sunday morning, on Butler street, on the morning of the 22.
Q. What did you learn in relation to it?
