A. Not to my knowledge.
Q. When the mayor was not here, was there any person in authority?
A. The chief of police. Chief Cullen, he has stated, took his men up to the corner of Seventh and Penn that evening, and I presume did his utmost to clear the pass-way there, and suppress the mob. What effect it would have had upon them had they arrested two or three or half a dozen of these men I am not prepared to say, it might, possibly, have dispersed the mob.
Q. Well, then, Mr. Goodhart, in your opinion, what amount of men would it have taken to suppress this mob and restore order and peace?
A. I should think that one hundred and fifty or two hundred men would have done it, properly armed.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. What other property was destroyed beside the destruction of the bridge?
A. There was a few houses that were burned.
Q. Any freight in them?
A. I think there was some, and then there was some property destroyed right on the road here in the city.
