Q. How large a posse could you have raised in the city to go out there and restore order, if the mayor had made a call, or a demand for a posse?
A. It would have depended on how much time you would have given me.
Q. In a day?
A. I might have got in the neighborhood of one hundred men. There were but one hundred and twenty men, and some of them were there.
Q. But from any class of men in the city—if he had just called for a posse from any source—for extra men?
A. He could not have got many at that time. Wherever I went, to judge from the talk, the people were all in sympathy with the mob.
