A. None at all. There were plenty of people outside in sympathy with those who were setting fire, and who were handing drinks up to them, and some women were carrying coffee, and handing it to them?
Q. What class of women?
A. They looked like Irish women.
Q. What classes of men were about that day who appeared to be in sympathy with them?
A. It generally was the Irish. Most every person that spoke to us about not playing on the fire was Irish, that is, had the brogue on the tongue.
Q. Were they railroad men, or did they belong to any particular class in the city. Mill men, or any particular class of people?
A. I didn't recognize any of them that I knew personally.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. You say they were handing coffee up to those people. It must have been made in the vicinity of the fire?
A. Yes; or else carried some distance. It appeared to be hot coffee.
