A. I did not, sir.
Q. Did you tell him to resist any arrest that might be attempted to be made upon him?
A. Positively, no! I will tell you what I did say. When I went, I found there were five or six hundred men, and my force was very small and I cautioned them to be careful what they are doing, that they would get themselves into trouble, there is danger ahead, and says I, "Be careful what you are doing." That was the sum and substance of what I said. I cautioned Ammon, and it turns out there were three or four of my officers heard me say so. The chief of police is here now, if you would like to have him corroborate it.
Q. Do you know of any official communication that Ammon had with the railroad officials?
A. I do not, sir.
Q. Do you know of any communication at all that he had with them?
A. Hearsay, sir. I know nothing of my own knowledge—only heard it indirectly, from some person to me, that he had something from J. D. Layng.
Q. He did not tell you himself?
A. No, sir.
Q. Saw no telegram from Mr. Layng to him?
