Q. In reference to the cause of the outbreak.
A. I didn't. Nothing more, than I presume it was stimulated by the action taken in other portions of the country. There was then an outbreak, I believe, in some portions of Maryland, if I mistake not, near Baltimore, and perhaps in Pittsburgh, or near there.
By Senator Torbert:
Q. The bridge was burned down before you returned?
A. Yes, sir; I believe Stokley left the same day I did, and also the Scranton man.
At this point, the committee adjourned till half-past one o'clock, this afternoon.
