Q. Do you know the parties referred to?
A. Motts and Goldsmith. They came out in the papers and said they went to one man named Kennedy, and told them that they would give protection, but I went and asked them, and they said that they never came to them at all.
Q. These gentlemen will testify to that?
A. Yes; I can have them at any time at all. I will fetch them to you. None of them came to me; and I am the proper person to come to for a purpose of that kind.
By Senator Reyburn.
Q. Were you about on Thursday or Friday?

A. On Saturday, one hundred and fifty policemen, well armed, and staying together, could have moved the crowd away so that they could have moved the trains.
Q. But you were not there?
