A. No, sir; the company that marched up was then as close as I am to the other side of the table, with their arms at a charge.
Q. Close to what?
A. To the crowd at Twenty-eighth street.
Q. Trying to press the crowd back?
A. Trying to press the crowd or make their way through them—was not thrusting or anything of that kind.
Q. You don't know who gave this command, or was it an exclamation you heard in the crowd?
A. I am under the impression that it was a command or a military order, but I would not swear who it was that gave it. I could not do that.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did it appear to be in front of the command—the head of the column where the command came from to fire?
A. I was standing immediately opposite the head of the column, and the sound of that command appeared to come directly opposite to me, down at the head of the column.
