By Mr. Means:
Q. You suppose that the troops fired in self-defense?
A. I supposed at that time, and I don't know that I have any reason to change my impression, that it was an actual shot—the first shot—and there was so much confusion at the time that it would have been very natural for others to suppose the order was given.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. You stated that you saw pistol shots fired from the crowd?
A. It would be more correct to say that I heard them.
Q. Did you see stones and missiles thrown?
A. I did.
Q. Did you consider that an assault on your troops?
A. I did.
