Q. Had you made any demand prior to that Sunday night?
A. I cannot say. I know of that for a fact.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. What demand?
A. He said, how many people will volunteer to protect the water-works of the city, and I ask for volunteers. As I understood, they intended to burn them down. Out of some two hundred men, four responded, I think. He said he understood they were in danger.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. But he summoned no posse from the citizens of the city during the riots, did he?
A. I don't know that he did.
Q. How many of those discharged policemen were at the city hall on Thursday when those ten men went out?
A. I cannot say how many were there. They were in and out, being paid off. I cannot say how many. Quite a number of them, I know.
