Q. Was it kept secret?
A. Oh, no, sir.
Q. How long did you know that before the assemblage?
A. I knew that was to be three or four days before that—two or three days.
Q. Why was it called at the silk-works—to meet at the silk-works?
A. Because there was no room elsewhere, unless they would have it up in the Round woods, back of Hyde Park, and that was about just as far over there.

A. It is a piece of woods that lies west of Hyde Park, commonly known as the Round woods.
Q. Grove?
