Q. If you had succeeded in starting a train from Pittsburgh, would it have been able to get ten miles away.

Q. What do you mean by through?
A. To the destination, wherever it was.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. During this time, before the military arrived, was there any considerable effort made on the part of the police to protect you and your men and property?
A. No, sir; nothing at all equal to the emergency.
Q. What number of policemen were there in force, at any time, to protect you?
A. I cannot say that I ever saw a dozen. A small force of police were brought to the outer depot on Thursday, but it was after I had gone to Torrens, and I remained away the remainder of the day. It was after the time that we were trying to get out another train, when the men refused to let it go, and when Mr. Watt was struck.
Q. What were the police doing all this time?
