Q. I wish you would give us the number of killed—the number that was actually killed—so far as you can?
A. There were ten killed—then another one subsequently died, about six or eight weeks, I think, afterwards—Corbett—from the wounds received at the same time.
Q. Making eleven in all?
A. Making eleven altogether.
Q. Were these all citizens, or a portion of them soldiers?
A. They were all citizens—no soldiers.
Q. Were any of them actually engaged, or were they citizens who had congregated there out of curiosity?
A. The larger part of them were there out of curiosity. Two of those that were killed were said to have had something to do with this matter, and were not innocent. The others—that is, taking it for granted that they were innocent, by being there, which the law, I believe, doesn't grant, either—may be said to have been innocent. Trace was, perhaps, the least censurable of any of them, for he was far away from the scene where this was transacted.
Q. I understand you to say this: of the killed there were only two who were actually engaged in the riots?
A. I would say, whose record was not altogether clear—free from censure.
