A. No, sir; I didn't hear them say anything.
Q. They were looking for them, were they not?
A. Not that I know of; didn't hear them say so.
Q. Was it possible for you to be mistaken in the man that gave the command "fire?" Might it not have been somebody else?
A. I don't think so. I knew the general, and was close enough to hear distinctly.
Q. You knew the command really came from him?
A. Yes, sir.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Was General Pearson facing towards Liberty street, or up the hill?
A. He was facing kind of towards Twenty-eighth street. Twenty-eighth crosses Liberty. That is where the most excitement was. The soldiers were trying to force them off the track. The crowd had gathered up the track, and they were trying to force them down. I suppose the men in front would have got out of that if they could, because I don't think any man would stand up to a bayonet.
