By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Did Officer McGovern report to the mayor during the afternoon?
A. I believe he came in before the rest came for supper, and reported this disturbance—about a man being arrested for striking Mr. Watt, and he then reported all quiet after that.
Q: Did he report to you by telegraph?
A. No; yes—I believe they did telegraph this arrest first from the Twelfth ward station.
Q. You have arrangements at the station-house to receive reports from all parts of the city, have you not?
A. From eight different parts of the city—yes, sir.
Q. From that portion of the city?
A. Yes, sir; there is a station-house within two blocks of Twenty-eighth street.
Q. Did you receive any report from Officer McGovern during the afternoon?
