Q. Could you at any time have taken the men out of the crowd with your force?
A. If they had resisted I could not, I know.
Q. Could you not have quietly slipped up and taken them?
A. Those men I had warrants for were employés of the road, and I did not know anything about their being in any crowd, but it appears they were active leaders. I did not know they were in any crowd, but owing to the state of excitement at the time, it was considered advisable to wait until the excitement was allayed before arresting those men.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Who made the information against those men?
A. I think it was Mr. Watt. That is my impression. The information was drawn by Messrs. Hampton and Dalzell, and sworn to by Mr. Watt.
