Q. Tell us what you heard said there?
A. I went into the chief of police's office—the left hand entrance going into the city hall—and seen one gentlemen that I was slightly acquainted with, Mr. Carrigan, and spoke to him. He got up and went out. There were two or three gentlemen—strangers—I got into conversation with them about it, and one of them, a large, tall man, with heavy black whiskers, says he, "We won't be satisfied here until this track is torn up to the point." He brought his fist down; says he, "We have been imposed on long enough."
Q. Until the track was torn up to the point—what track did he refer to?
A. He mentioned the Liberty street track?

A. I suppose it is the old Duquesne depot on the point.
Q. At the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela?
A. Yes, sir.
