Q. Did you go up there where that crowd was Friday morning, to see, of your own knowledge, whether the trains could run through or not?

Q. How large a crowd was at Twenty-eighth street that morning—Friday morning?
A. On Friday morning, to connect my story, I went up with General Pearson at Twenty-eighth street, and he talked to the crowd. I think the sheriff was along.
Q. How large a crowd did you find there?
A. I never was at Twenty-eighth street that evening.
Q. On Friday morning?
