By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did you not only reduce your crews, so far as the conductors and brakemen and flagmen were concerned, one half of a train, if it was sent out as a double-header?
A. One half of the trains we were running single between Pittsburgh and Derry.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Were any of the discharged men among the crowd at Twenty-eighth street or at Torren's station that morning?
A. Yes; I saw quite a number of men who had been discharged for cause as well as suspended on account of the reduction.
Q. You deemed it unsafe from that time on to start your trains, from the time you visited Twenty-eighth street and Torren's station that morning?
A. The sheriff and General Pearson—the sheriff ordered the crowd to disperse and General Pearson, in fact, made a calm and warning speech, and told them what his orders were, that the military had been ordered out and what the consequences would be, and coaxed and pleaded with them to disperse before the military came up that had been ordered out.
Q. What time did the military come up?
A. In regard to the time of any of those occurrences, from Thursday until it was all over I was not in bed, and it is kind of cloudy in my mind as to the different hours; but as to the hour, I should say that this was about twelve or one o'clock, Friday.
