Q. Was there any trouble in raising a company of citizens at that time?
A. No, sir; there were more than we had arms for—more ready to go than we could get muskets for, and some, when we could get these imperfect muskets, were afraid to go into the crowd with them. When we came down from there we deposited what arms we had in the mayor's office, in charge of a policeman there, and some of them scattered and went to the depot—the Duquesne depot—and others to the depots or upon the street, individually.
Q. What did you do Sunday night yourself?
A. I went over to Allegheny; found the citizens were organizing there and about starting out to guard the bridges. I went with a party to the railroad bridge and was there that night. I had a revolver with me then.
Q. The railroad bridge?
A. The railroad bridge across the Allegheny river at the Fort Wayne road.
Q. Was that well guarded by citizens?
A. There was about fifteen or twenty, armed with muskets and revolvers.
Q. What class of citizens?
A. There were several policemen and some officers and men from Allegheny.
