A. No, sir; I judged that. That was our effort to save the depot. I induced the bishop to go down myself.
Q. In the practice of your profession, have you become acquainted, more or less, with the laboring men about the city?
A. Yes; I have. I am a great deal amongst them—factories, mills, and all around the neighborhood. I have a great deal of intercourse with that class of people as a surgeon amongst them.
Q. Did you recognize any of that class in this crowd?
A. I didn't recognize—yes, I recognized two men, that I have since endeavored to find, who were amongst the rioters—that was the only two.
Q. On Sunday?
A. Yes; they were there present, and one of them, when I was addressing the crowd, made the remark to me that they wouldn't put confidence in any man, no matter what he said, and that man I would know again. He was one of them, and he was an aider and abettor. I have gone frequently around the depot since; and I think he was employed by the company. I would know him if I was to see him. The other man, that threw the piece of iron ore at my head, I would know him. I have never met him.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do you know whether any of your command—of your company had been called upon by the sheriff to join his posse to suppress the riot the day before, or at any time.
A. I don't know whether they ever had or not. I don't think the sheriff was about on Sunday.
