A. I got no further instructions, I remember, from the chief; he instructed me to turn the force over to officer Fowler, and report at the city hall.
Q. Do you know, of your own knowledge, what were the movements of the police force there during the balance of the day?
A. During the balance of the day the force was increased to, I think, at Twenty-eighth street, thirty men—twenty-five or thirty men—during the evening. They remained on duty all night.
Q. Was there any effort made to run out trains during the afternoon of Thursday?
A. I believe there was.

A. Officer Saul Coulston and officer Robert Fowler.
