A. A great many men were scattered along the street as we were going to the box. The fire was down as far as Twenty-third street by that time. By daylight it got warm at Twenty-third and Liberty, and the chief got permission from the mob to lay a line of hose so that a foundry there might not take fire. We afterwards went to Twenty-sixth street, but could not get across there as the soldiers were firing across Twenty-sixth street.
Q. What time was that?
A. An hour after we were at Twenty-third street.
Q. After daylight?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you visit the round-house after the troops left?
A. It was impossible for anybody to go there. The upper building was completely burned when we went into service. It is a square building.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Attached to or in close proximity to the round-house?
A. Yes. The roof had fallen in when we laid the line of hose. That was in ten minutes after the soldiers had left the round-house.
