A. Yes, I had, so far as I knew how. I assisted Mayor McCarthy's police when I went up there.
Q. Were the police there?
A. They were; eight or ten police there during the day and at night.
Q. What did they do?
A. The boys were around there playing with the cars—wherever there is excitement the boys are always there—they were trying to put the boys away, and the men were not doing any harm, it was the boys.
Q. You could not put the boys away then?
A. No; they were little boys.
Q. When the soldiers marched up, what did the crowd do? Did they fall back?
A. At the time they charged bayonets, the rear crowd shoved the front up—they were shoving them up. That is all I seen about it.
Q. Did you see any stones thrown?
