A. I wanted some car wheels put across the track. It was a rather open space, and they didn't seem to like it much, but they went and did it.
Q. Have you anything else to say?
A. I might say that I saw the scout going out all night long, carrying messages back and forward.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did you consider the firing by the troops justifiable?
A. I can only say that if I had had command I would have fired sooner than they did.
Q. You would have given the order?
A. Yes; I gave the order to fire going out Pennsylvania avenue. I always considered when attacked you have the right to return the fire.
Q. You have had some experience in the army?
A. Some little.
