A. No, sir; I do not. I have no knowledge at all on that subject.
Q. You said in your testimony, that had it not been for the troubles at Pittsburgh, you would not have had any trouble at Reading. Now I want to know how you know that?
A. The reason I know that, is owing to telegrams being brought here to the city of Reading, and posted on bulletin boards.
Q. To whom were those telegrams sent?
A. The telegrams I have referred to, were sent to the Eagle office, they were on the bulletin boards of the Eagle office.
Q. To the editor of the Eagle?
A. I can't tell who they were sent to, but I saw them on the bulletin boards.
Q. What was the import of those telegrams?
A. Well, they were about the trouble there, and about firing—the trouble in Pittsburgh, in a general way, showing a great deal of trouble, and fighting, and riot going on there.
Q. In short, those telegrams were to the effect that the rioters had possession of the railroad property at the city of Pittsburgh?
