A. No, sir; I could not tell you. We had forty under indictment, I believe. Some of them are in jail now.
Q. Were they tried by the county courts or police courts?
A. They were arrested and had a hearing before the mayor, and were tried by the county courts—committed by the mayor, and tried by the county court.
Q. Were any of the militia brought in at any time?
A. No, sir.
Q. Coming under your own knowledge.
A. No, sir; not under my own knowledge.
By Mr. Engelbert:
Q. I would like to ask you a question. I have understood that there was considerable grumbling and growling about the expense for that thing—how much was that?
A. The county paid in the neighborhood of $2,000. They paid me $1,965. We heard of a case in North street where a man had some two or three hundred guns in his house, and on Tuesday we took the guns from him, and he brought in a small bill and the items were made up. There were fifty men that were detailed as specials. They were on duty, in connection with the mayor's police, as policemen, and we paid those two dollars a night—or two dollars a day—and it amounted to something upwards of $1,200—between $1,200 and $1,300—and the balance of the expense was for providing rations for our men at night. We were organized as a regiment, and we had regiment and company quartermasters, and we were provided with rations at night. They had quarters and all that kind of thing. That caused the expense, which was paid by the county commissioners.
