Q. No effort made by the police to interfere with him?
A. No; they looked on as if it was a dog fight.
Q. Did that shot hit any of the soldiers?
A. One shot I know took effect. They fired just as the rear of the column was getting by.
Q. At the police station?
A. It was right near a police station or an engine-house.
Q. Where the police were standing?
A. A group of them standing there. It was a municipal building. I think it must have been a fire station from the appearance of it. I looked back—we had just got by—and I judge, from the appearance of the building in Philadelphia, that it was a fire station. I was told since that it was. Those policemen were in uniform—quite a number of them—certainly seven or eight. There might have been a dozen of them, and no large crowd near to interfere with them in case they had chosen to arrest the man. I heard other firing at the same time, which, I believe, has been testified to by others as being done by policemen. I did not actually hear a policeman fire. There was more than one man fired—firing from the other side. I noticed this one man, particularly.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Where did this firing come from, parties on the sidewalks or from houses?
