By Senator Yutzy.
Q. Who addressed them?
A. Bishop Tuigg. He did everything he could to get these people to desist. I saw a few there that I knew of our own people, and these I do say were not engaged in burning. After that, we went up to try and find the engineers of the railroad—locomotive engineers. We went up to see them. We got some of the citizens to go to their houses and tell them that we would meet them. We went up there, and were not able to meet any, but two or three of them at a time came in, and Mr. Slagle remained there. Bishop Tuigg and the Reverend Scoville and I went over there to Allegheny City to see the officials of the Pennsylvania Company and Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. Cassatt was there, Mr. Thaw, Mr. McCullough, and their solicitor, Senator Scott. We talked with them upon the subject, but previous to that I had gone down to the Monongahela house, and had met Mr. Cassatt there, and I think Mr. Quay, and a number of gentlemen that were there. I took him in my buggy and took him across to Allegheny City.
Q. Mr. Cassatt?
A. And left him there with the other gentlemen connected with the railroad.
Q. What is Mr. Thaw's first name?
A. William Thaw.
Q. What is his official position?
A. He is also connected with the Pennsylvania Company, in charge of the leased lines of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Q. In what capacity?
