A. The Pittsburgh troops. I was there Thursday night and Friday night and Saturday night until one o'clock.
Q. At Twenty-eighth street, were the same men there all the time from Thursday until Saturday—until the firing of the troops?
A. Yes; they were nearly about the same crowd. Of course, the crowd increased. On Friday night four or five thousand of them were there, but the crowd was orderly, and I never saw them molest anybody unless you wanted to do something—then they would drive you back.

Q. Would it have been possible for the police to have made any arrests at that time?
A. I went out and looked at the crowd. I looked over the crowd and I thought if there were any police there they could have arrested the whole of them.
Q. Could a force of fifty good police have dispersed the mob?
A. They could on Thursday afternoon, when the first double-header was stopped. I think only about from twenty to twenty-five men were interfering with that train at all. It was just this way: I stood and looked on, but I had nothing to do with it. It was daylight, and I was on at night. There were four police on each engine, and a road foreman was on an engine, and the engineers and firemen, but they didn't seem to pull her out. I didn't see anybody with anything in their hands, but was informed that there were parties with links and pins in their hands, ready to throw in case they did start.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do you know of any engineers or firemen being driven off their engines when there were policemen with them on the train?
