Q. Would the presence of the railroad officials have tended to exasperate the crowd, do you think?
A. Yes, sir. I don't think it would have been safe for them to have been there. I think it would have exasperated them.
Q. Where was Adjutant Latta during the day—Sunday?
A. I think he was at the Monongahela house, with Cassatt—I think he was there.
Q. Until what hour?
A. I was introduced to him when I took Mr. Cassatt across to Allegheny City. It must have been between eleven and twelve o'clock. I left him there, and I was not back to the Monongahela house after that. I learned they had gone down the river to Beaver. I think General Latta was along. There was a number of gentlemen there. Mr. Cassatt was anxious in regard to the soldiers that they had. I did not know the condition of them, nor did he—how these men that had come from Philadelphia were. He appeared to be under the impression that they had got out, and had neither provision nor ammunition, and I said that I could fix a way that they could have the supplies—that there were parties in Allegheny who would attend to that. I went down on Monday to Mr. Ray, and he sent them out provisions, and told me afterwards that they had removed their head-quarters, and he had followed them up to Blairsville, and had delivered them cooked provisions.
Q. Who is Mr. Ray?
A. He is a grocer on Liberty street.
Q. In Allegheny City?
A. No, sir; Pittsburgh.
