Q. Not charged to the State?
A. No, sir; charged to the county. As it was all done under my orders, the county was liable for the expense—that part of it. The mayor had charge of these fifty men, to a great extent, that acted with his policemen—the mayor's policemen acted with me from the very start.
By Mr. Engelbert:
Q. Both acted in conjunction harmoniously?
A. Yes; the mayor and his police were the first to tender their services.
Q. Not afraid of one superseding the other?
A. We had no trouble at all. We procured fifty revolvers from the State for the use of those fifty men we had. The other men armed themselves.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Armed with muskets, and rifles, and shot guns?
A. No, sir; I wanted them only to have clubs, but nearly every one of them had pistols.
