Q. State to us what knowledge you have of the disturbance, and when it commenced—give us a statement of the facts?
A. Coming in on Friday morning, from attending a sale, I met the sheriff and General Pearson, on Grant street or on Liberty street. I told the sheriff I was going to the office, and I asked where he was going, and he said he was going out the Pennsylvania railroad a short distance. I asked him if he wished me to go along, and he said he did. Then the sheriff and Mr. Pitcairn and General Pearson and myself went to Torrens station. The sheriff there addressed the crowd, as also did General Pearson. They gave some good advice, but they took no notice of it.
Q. How did you go out?
A. On a locomotive.
Q. How large a crowd was there?
A. Five or six hundred—I couldn't tell.
Q. What class of people were there?
