A. Yes; the day we had the warrants.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Friday?
A. On Friday there was a large crowd. It was continually increasing. It increased from Thursday, and kept on increasing all the time, on Friday and Saturday.
Q. Were they all taking a part?
A. No; a portion were lookers on, but the sympathy appeared to be all with the strikers. But I must say, that I did not see many of those strikers. After we had gone out to Torrens station, I asked Mr. Pitcairn how many men he knew in those two crowds, at Twenty-eighth street and Torrens station, as belonging to the road. After studying awhile, he said: "Well, really, I think I only know four."
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. You say the sympathy of all those gathered around was with the strikers?
A. It appeared to be.
Q. How extensive was that sympathy—to what extent was it carried among the people?
