By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Did the mayor, in that interview, express any intention or desire to suppress this—making any attempt to control it?
A. No, sir; simply said the matter was beyond his control, and he could not do anything, and he was tolerably mad.
Q. Did he say he had in the first place?
A. No, sir; I didn't ask him anything about that.
By Senator Yutzy:
