Q. Were there no arms there. Were there not some stacks of muskets?
A. They had nothing but their sabers, that is all. I saw them all. They had nothing but their pocket knives. Some of them had no knives, because they went away so quick, they didn't know where they were going, and they thought they were going a few miles outside of Philadelphia.
Q. Do you know whether there was any effort made to take any provisions or ammunition to the troops in the round-house on Saturday night?
A. Not as I know of.

A. Yes; they are all mounted.

A. I heard them hollering in the street for to kill them—in Liberty street.
Q. That is a good way to intimidate a person, isn't it?
