Q. Did you receive any further instructions?
A. Not that day. The men remained there that day and night—all night.
Q. Were you present when Mr. Watt came to consult with the mayor?
A. I was in the office.
Q. Did you hear the conversation?
A. No.
Q. What did Mr. Watt tell you that time in the presence of the mayor?
A. I do not think the mayor was present at that time. It was in regard to what I was going out there for. He told me a few of the men were on a strike, and that they would probably undertake to interfere with the running of the trains, but he did not anticipate any serious trouble. He thought that a few men would be sufficient. He did not think it would amount to anything, and said that the presence of a few men would stop the whole thing. He looked on it very lightly at that time.
Q. After Mr. Watt went away it was that Mayor McCarthy gave you instructions?
A. Yes.
