William J. Kennedy, sworn with the uplifted hand:
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. What is your occupation?
A. Foreman of engine company No. 3.
Q. Did you occupy that position last July?
A. Yes.
Q. State what part you took in putting out the fire that occurred on the night of the 21st—Saturday night?
A. It was eleven o'clock and twenty minutes when the alarm came first. We started out the house, but we were stopped at the grain elevator. But we got through that crowd, and got on to Penn street, when they began firing at us or at our horses.
Q. How many shots were fired?
