Q. Would it have been prudent for the Adjutant General to have remained in the city during the day, Sunday?
A. To have gone into the crowd?
Q. Yes; or remained in the city?
A. I do not think there would have been a hair of his head harmed.
Q. Would it have been prudent for the other State officials?
A. If they had remained at the Monongahela house they would not have been disturbed.
Q. If the Adjutant General had gone to the scene of the riot, would he have been disturbed?
A. I think there would have been danger. Any man went in at the peril of his life—any officer went in single-handed, alone.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. You have a very extensive knowledge of what transpired here during the riots. I want to know whether, in your opinion, there was a disposition on the part of the city and county authorities to protect property and to suppress the riot. If so, could they have done so?
