A. Yes; all down on that side. [Indicating.] Then there was some discussion after this by the men backward and forward, and we went back again to the silk-works, and we were talking, and we saw the crowd dispersing. I saw no motion carried, I simply heard them offered and seconded, and put to the meeting, and then they were discussed. I heard the ayes and noes while I was back, but supposed they were voting on the motion; the decision of the chairman I could not tell what it was. Then the men began to disperse, and we stood talking there. We had no idea that any damage was being done. And while we were standing at the silk factory, just on the railroad we came over from the iron and coal company's factory—we could see the men running towards Ward street, in that direction from here.
Q. You remained down there when they started from the shops?
A. Yes; and when we saw these men going that way, we came up the L. and S. railroad, and I was just at the arch near the L. and S. shop when the firing occurred. I just heard it, and that was all, and then I walked right up to the corner here.
Q. When you got to the corner, what did you do?
A. I saw the men lying there dead in the street.
Q. Had the crowd dispersed?
A. Well yes, in the main. There was a great many standing around down the street, and up and down the avenue, walking and talking.
Q. Who notified you of the meeting at the silk-works?
A. Indeed, I could not tell you that. I had it from quite a large number.
Q. Laboring men?
