Q. What is your occupation?
A. I am insurance agent.
Q. Are you the father of Robert Ammon, known as Bob Ammon during the troubles in July?
A. Yes; I am.
Q. Have you any knowledge of the occurrences during that time in Allegheny City?
A. I have, somewhat. I felt, of course, it was natural that I should feel an interest, seeing that my son was concerned there.
Q. Were you in Allegheny City at the time?
A. No, sir.
Q. Have you any personal knowledge of any of the occurrences over there?
A. Not of the occurrences. My aims were directed to inspire Robert as much as possible—to prevent destruction of property. I sent messages and communications to him frequently, almost hourly.
