Q. It was commanded by ——
A. Colonel Gray.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do you know whether this soldier was killed by a shot fired from the mob or not?
A. It was not a pistol shot, I know that from the character of the wound.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. He was not one of the soldiers who put the mob back?
A. No, sir; he was one of the soldiers on the hill. They were facing towards the hill, and there was a great many of the mob that were there on the side of the hill, between the other soldiers, before us and Twenty-eighth street—a dense mass of them there.
Q. Was he standing in his command?
A. He was away from his command. He was not exactly in the crowd—the crowd was below him.
