Q. How many were standing there then?
A. Quite a number—I suppose about thirty-five or forty of them.
Q. Did you know any of them?
A. I knew him. It was dark, and I couldn't see who the rest were.
Q. What was the name of that man?
A. D. W. Davis, I think.
Q. Did he say anything more to you?
A. No; nothing more. He said it was all right, that I could go on, after I told him what I was hauling.
Q. What was the manner of the crowd at that time as to their being boisterous or demonstrative?
A. Indeed, I could not tell you. We just stop for a couple of minutes, and sometimes not that long.
