A. No, sir; I saw no mob.
Q. There was no further disturbance nor breach of the peace?
A. None at all. They commenced to arrest people who were engaged in it immediately.
Q. State what efforts were made by the civil authorities to punish those that were engaged in rioting, so far as you know of your own knowledge?
A. They had arrested—they arrested about sixty or seventy. I think then the next week they were all held for appearance at court. Two of them pleaded guilty—the two that were engaged in burning the bridge. Those two were in court, and the others were tried, and so far as I know of my own personal knowledge, there were about a dozen that I know of were tried and acquitted, and the others were held for the next term of court. I don't know whether they have been tried or not. I suppose they were, but I do not know.
Q. Were those arrests made by the mayor?
A. They were made by the chief of police, assisted by the coal and iron police, and the police of the city.
Q. This coal and iron police you speak of, is that a police kept up by the company—a private company?
A. I understand that to be under some act of Assembly, by which the Governor has power to appoint special policemen. I never looked up the act of Assembly. I know there are policemen appointed that way—special policemen.
Q. For the city?
