Q. What time were those warrants placed in your hands for the arrest of those parties?
A. My recollection of the warrants—I could very easily give you a definite answer if I had time to go to the office and refer to my memoranda. Then I could tell you. But I think it was Friday. That is my impression. I think it was Friday morning or Thursday afternoon.
Q. How long did you keep them in your possession?
A. A day, I think, and a night. That is my impression.
Q. Did you make any effort to arrest the parties?
A. We were so busy on other matters that there was no effort made, any more than to make inquiries and locating the parties. We did not anticipate any trouble in getting them after the excitement was somewhat allayed.
Q. Did you go to their houses during the time that you had the warrants?
A. No.
Q. Did you try to spot the men among the crowd?
A. No; I cannot say that I did, because it was a secondary consideration in regard to those men. The information was interfering with railroad employés, and we considered it a light matter towards what was going on at Twenty-eighth street—the riotous proceedings. We were kept busy that day and night trying to keep order.
