Q. That Thomas A. Scott was at your house?
A. Directing affairs from there.
Q. Was Mr. Scott there?
A. He was not there at any time during the riot. Was not there before the riot, nor has he been there since.

Q. Did not say who did it?
A. No; he may have stated the sheriff, but I am not sure about that—stated he would have nothing to do with it.
