Q. Did you understand that the sheriff was coming there with a posse? That he was going to read the riot act, or something of that kind?
A. No, sir; I did not know that the sheriff was coming at all. I did not know who was coming until after they got up there.
Q. What did you go down—you said you went down to hear what the sheriff would say?
A. I went down there to hear whether there would be anything read, or what would be said, and that was after the sheriff was pointed out to me.
