A. No; I don't know as I did. There was a gentleman came in there, and inquired for the mayor. Says he: "There is a big lot of miners coming down here," and, says he, "we don't know what to do." He inquired where he was, and wanted something done to stop them. No person seemed to know what to do.
Q. How long did you remain at the city hall?
A. I remained there until Monday evening—at the city hall?
Q. Yes?
A. Probably I was there an hour.
Q. Was the mayor away all the time that you were there?
A. I didn't hear of the mayor coming in while I was there at all. He might have went to his office while I was in there.
By Mr. Engelbert:
Q. What time were you at the city hall?
