Q. You could have got more if you had wanted them?
A. Yes; I did get more afterwards. I think ten more came out. Of course we could not get those men and bring them into service as our men in actual service, because those men had been dropped from the rolls, and it was only those willing to go on duty or not.
Q. But plenty of them were willing to go?
A. Yes; they showed a willingness to go.
Q. When you got to Twenty-eighth street, how many men were engaged there then in preventing the trains from moving?
A. The first intimation I had of any men, who were going to prevent trains from running, was when Mr. Watt was assaulted, and then I should judge that those men actively engaged, numbered, probably, ten or fifteen—that seemed to be the leaders.
Q. When you undertook to arrest McCall, how many men took his part?
A. I suppose ten or fifteen of those men gathered around us, and wanted us to let him go.
Q. Did you arrest all of those who undertook to take McCall's part?
A. They did not use any violence at all. McCall appealed to them, and asked them not to allow him to be arrested, that they were there for the purpose of preventing the trains from running, and that they were not surely going to allow him to go to the watch-house, but there was not a man of them that attempted to interfere with the officers. The only interference was some stones thrown from the hill-side around. I saw some of them thrown, and most of them by boys.
