By Mr. Engelbert:
Q. After the sheriff called upon the Governor for troops, didn't that intensify the feeling in Pittsburgh?
A. It did. I do not think that there was any necessity for that, sir.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. State what efforts were made to start trains that day?
A. On Friday afternoon no effort was made. The passenger trains came in on Saturday morning. The troops were mixed with the crowd, and no effort was made to start trains, I went to Allegheny City, and learned of the shooting while coming across the river. I happened to be away when the fun commenced.
At this point the committee adjourned to meet to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock.
MORNING SESSION.
