Q. You didn't recognize him?

By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Then you intended to use your own judgment as to whether the militia were there lawfully or unlawfully?
A. I look upon General Huidekoper as a gentleman, and don't think he would lie.
Q. Suppose he had said he was there on authority from the Governor?
A. I told you I would have gone off the premises and walked away. If he had told me it was none of my business, I would have told him I would make it my business. If he had told me he was there by authority of some railroad official, I would have told him that the best thing he could do for his own and for our sake, would be to take the back track, and go away.
Q. Did you see the daily papers of that week?
