A. I think not; but he was in Reading at that time. So I understood, although I didn't see him.
Q. What is the sheriff's name?
A. His name is Yorgy. Captain Linden and his police were there at that time. I saw them. They had stayed to guard the railroad property. About seventeen or eighteen men he had at that time.
Q. Of the city?
A. No, sir; coal and iron police. The police were some twenty or twenty-two. A number of those were hurt in the fire—about seven of them were shot.
Q. Shot in this conflict that took place between the rioters and the troops?
A. Yes. As I understood that matter, Seventh street runs this way, [indicating,] and at the corner—at Penn street—it was where the principle crowd was. The cut opens there, and the police were drawn across Penn street, parallel with Seventh street. When the troops came out of the cut this volley went through the line.
Q. Of the police?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Any of them killed?
