A. Yes.
Q. Did you see any muskets or rifles in the hands of the mob?
A. I cannot say that I saw—yes I did. I saw it on Saturday morning after leaving the round-house, as we were going up the street. I saw these men firing into us all night. I saw them have muskets. On Saturday afternoon I saw firing that must have come from muskets. I know the difference, and I judged from the sound and the smoke. The firing couldn't have been done with pistols.
Q. Were any of the military struck by pistol or rifle shots before they commenced firing on the mob?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you hear any command given to fire?
A. On Saturday afternoon?
Q. After this firing from the mob—following the stones thrown at the military.
A. No; I cannot say that I did. I am positive I did not; therefore I didn't fire nor order my men to fire.
Q. Did you hear a command from any officer to cease firing?
