Q. Who were those persons who were throwing the stones?
A. I cannot say who they were.
Q. How many composed the crowd at that time?
A. I fancy some fifteen or eighteen men that I saw there, but might have been more.
Q. Were they all railroad employés?
A. I cannot say that.
Q. Were those brakemen who had refused to go out with you among them?
A. That I cannot say. I was not close enough to see whether my men were among them or not.
Q. On Friday afternoon, when the attempt was made to start the train, will you tell us what occurred then?
A. As near as I can recollect, the train was made up, and it was pulled up out of the freight yard. I don't know whether the caboose car was coupled or not. I cannot recollect, but I saw the train start as though it was going to go out. I saw men run in front of the engines to stop them, and I saw the parties get off of them, and the train then was backed into the yard after that.
