Q. Just select them in their order?
A. Now here is the first one I present here. I have read them over so often that I am familiar with them, and if you will permit I will read them.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Read that one [indicating?]
A. This dispatch is directed to Allegheny City, at the outer depot, where Robert had his station, reads as follows:
"Operator, do anything to save property, and if engines and freight can be moved out of the city and men enough to do it, and the strikers will permit, run them west on north track far enough to be safe from any damage from Pittsburgh men. Give copy to Ammon. G. S. G."
If you desire an explanation of these, those initials signify "George S. Griscom," whose duty it was to send them. A gentleman by the name of W. A. Routson occupied his place.
Q. What position?
A. The position of Mr. Griscom, during his absence.
Q. What is Mr. Griscom's position?
