Q. Living in the city of Pittsburgh?
A. I suppose he did, sir.
Q. At the drug store, did you meet any citizens more than the druggist himself?
A. I didn't, because he advised me not to stay there long—that it would not be desirable for them to know who I was.
By Mr. Means:
Q. The druggist advised you not to stay there long—that he did not want the strikers to know you were in his place of business?
A. Or the citizens even to know it. It was rather out of regard for my safety, than possibly for himself. I went through the streets of Pittsburgh, when they were breaking into the stores and seizing arms, and the citizens looked on that indifferently, and no efforts were made to stop that.
Q. You went through the city of Pittsburgh, in disguise for your own safety, for fear of bodily harm you might receive.
A. I went into the streets of Pittsburgh in citizen's dress, in the first place, because I had been warned by General Latta, in regard to wearing my uniform. He advised me to remove it. He said it was not safe even for himself, or anybody connected with the military, to appear in uniform. That it would probably attract the mob to the hotel. I did it at his suggestion, and also, when I reflected on it, for my own safety.
