By Mr. Engelbert:
Q. The sheriff issued no proclamation?
A. Not that I know of.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Did the sheriff go out himself, and command men to join him in putting down the riot?
A. I couldn't state that, whether he did or didn't. I was not in the office much. I was away in the morning, and when I came back, he requested me to go out.
Q. What were his directions to you?
A. His directions were to go out in town, and get all the men I could to assist in making arrests in Twenty-eighth street. He said there was three or four men there they had warrants for, and they expected trouble, and wanted a posse.
Q. Didn't tell you to make your demands, or what language to use, nor gave you no written summons.
A. Nothing more than what I have told you.
