A. I cannot say that he was then. I was always led to believe he was before. I used to live at the Union depot, and I know most of these people by sight. I have seen him several times, and talked to him on the street since the riot.
Q. Do you know whether he is in the employ of the company now or not?
A. I don't, sir.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did you understand from the conference you had with Cunningham that the strikers would unite with good citizens to suppress the riot and disperse the mob?
A. Yes; that some of the strikers would—the ones inclined peaceably?
Q. What did Mayor McCarthy say in reply to this note? Did you ever learn?
A. I never got an answer. In fact, I don't think I ever asked, because when I came down the people had all gone up to the depot—all that seemed to want to join. In fact I am positive I never said anything about it afterwards. I suppose if they had gone there they would have been assigned to proper places.
Q. Were they to act in conjunction with Doctor Donnelly and his armed force?
A. Yes; that was the understanding. I think Captain McMunn told me to go to this man Cunningham, and that he would help us.
