A. He did not think of it, and I did not either. I thought that the presence, as Mr. Watt told me—that the presence of five or six men would have the desired effect.
Q. Did you make any report to the mayor, during the afternoon?
A. I reported to the chief of police.
Q. That is the only report you made?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Who was he?
A. Philip Demmel.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do you know of an order, given by the mayor to his officers, to compel men to serve on the police force, during those troubles?
A. I do not know of any order of that kind. I know of orders given by the mayor to summon all the men that had been dropped from the rolls, and to get them organized with the men we had, and go on duty. A number of them responded. That was on Sunday.
