A. I think he lived down on the south side, somewhere.
Q. The other man, was he a citizen of the city?
A. I couldn't say. I don't know anything about him.
Q. Have both of those men been tried?
A. They have, sir. I think they have been tried.
Q. Were there any police in the vicinity at the time you were stationed there?
A. No, sir; I didn't see any. We clubbed together, a number of us then, and made up a little purse and hired a few police.
Q. Private police?
A. No; only to look after the building at night, and help us arrest anybody that should attempt to burn.
Q. Were those men sworn in by you men as special police?
