Q. And they dispersed that mob?
A. The police would have been unable to disperse the mob without the assistance of the citizens.
Q. Were there any of the mob arrested?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. How many?
A. Probably eight or ten arrested during that night. Altogether, there were within the week, a few days following the riot, forty-five or forty-seven arrested.
Q. Were the police officers obliged to use their maces in order to disperse the mob that night at the foot of Market street?
A. No, sir.
Q. Those who were arrested, what class of men were they?
A. Most of them followed no occupation. Probably one third of them were employés of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and I would say that the employés of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were only arrested for interfering with the business of the railroad—they were not arrested for breaking into the stores.
