A. Not until Saturday night, when the alarm was given.
Q. On Saturday and Sunday morning, when you were there, were the police doing anything to prevent the pillaging?
A. After I came back from East Liberty, I saw the police arresting people for stealing. The "black maria" was busy taking them down to the station—the Twelfth ward station—and then running them down to the Central station.
Q. From what you saw, do you think it would have been possible for the police to have stopped it?
A. It would have been impossible for what was there to have stopped the mob. They could catch the people when carrying things off.
By Senator Yutzy:
