A. I suppose the police were too weak in numbers.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. When you saw them they were inadequate to the emergency?
A. Yes; altogether.
Q. Up to Saturday night, any train that could have been started would have gone through to its destination?
A. No; only on Thursday. After Thursday, I think, no freight train could have gone through, because all the trains were stopped; and even the passenger trains were stopped at East Liberty and Lawrenceville.
Q. From the information that the railroad authorities had, they could not have run trains through to their destination?
A. I don't think so, after Thursday. The men allowed our trains to come west, but as fast as they came west they prevented them from going east.
Adjourned until Monday morning, at ten o'clock.
