By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Were you at the scene of the disturbance at any time during the trouble?
A. I was out there on Sunday morning early, along the line on Liberty street. There was a good deal of trouble about the city, and we were gathering the police in and sending them out throughout the city. We were afraid that the mob would break into the gun shops. The excitement was so great that I thought they might attempt to break into places, and so I gathered the men up and sent them to different places.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. If the mayor had made a call for policemen on Thursday afternoon, how many men could he have raised?
A. I do not know. I have no idea.
Q. Would there have been any difficulty in raising any number of policemen, do you think?
A. There might have been some. That call was made through the Sunday papers, and a good many responded.
