By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Were these editorials, with the head-lines, intended to mollify and quiet the mob?
A. They were intended to represent the exact condition of affairs as we understood it at that time.
Q. Regardless of what effect it would have on the mob?
A. It is an exact reflex of the condition of affairs at the time. In the articles below, and in different other parts of the paper, any resort to physical violence was deprecated, further than the act of striking.
Q. In your estimation, did your editorial give a representation of the general sentiment of the citizens here as a reflex of the sentiment of the people?
A. I think it was, as far as I could learn.
Q. At that time?
A. Yes, sir.
