A. Yes; they approved their action.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. In what way did they manifest or express sympathy with the rioters?
A. In this way: they thought they were taking the proper action to redress the wrongs they had suffered.
Q. Did they say that the strikers were taking proper action?
A. They said that they thought they were doing right.
Q. What citizens said that?
A. I do not remember the names. I met one gentleman on the street. He was kind enough to conduct me back to the hotel, it being night, and I not knowing the way. He didn't know who I was or my business, and expressed himself very freely about the matter.
Q. Was he a business man?
A. I do not know that. He appeared to be a gentleman—he was dressed as such.
