Q. Those who were committed to jail. Did you ever ascertain afterward who they were and where they came from?
A. I did not.
Q. Did you ever make any effort?
A. I never did. The police made efforts afterwards to try to ascertain, I believe, who they were, but I do not know what they did, or whether they did anything or not.
Q. Can't you tell something about what class of people they were from their dress?
A. They all looked to be of the poorer class of people, but what they were or who they were I cannot say.
Q. Can't you tell whether they were tramps or railroad men or people of the poorer class?
A. Some were tramps—I know that. I have a recollection of that. I don't think there were any railroad men. There may have been a few, but a very few, though. They were generally of the poorer class of people, picking up plunder.
