A. Yes.
Q. State whether you were led to believe that the people of Pittsburgh sympathized with the rioters?
A. There is no doubt about it.
Q. That they sympathized with the rioters?
A. Entirely so.
Q. And were hostile towards the Philadelphia soldiers?
A. It was very difficult to tell whether they despised the Pennsylvania Railroad Company or the Philadelphia troops most; but they certainly hated both of them. They were very angry at our coming out there.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. You spoke of citizens of Pittsburgh. Was it not the crowd that surrounded you there, or in the mob that you heard these conversations that led you to think that the people were in sympathy with the rioters?
A. No. Not to that extent. Some of my old regiment, the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, came to see me the following Sunday, after we went back, and took occasion to say that it was a great mistake, that they were sorry to see me where I was, and that they didn't want to see any of the Sixty-first coming out there. And they were very bitter.
