A. We were continually making efforts; we never ceased.
Q. What effort did you make to move the trains on Friday morning?
A. The efforts to move the trains on Friday morning were, securing the crews and firing up the engines, and having everything ready to move when we could get through the crowd.
Q. Did you succeed in securing the crews?
A. Yes.
Q. Were they new men, or old employés?
A. Old employés. I want you to bear in mind, that in starting the trains, the crews were always there, professing their readiness to go out, and at no time had we not sufficient crews to take the whole number of cars out.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Who stopped you from running the trains?
