Q. How long did you remain up at the top of the hill?
A. I followed the firing down until the Union depot got fired, then it got too warm for me, and I came away.
Q. Were you down near the track when you followed the firing along?
A. I was up on the hill.
Q. Were you near the elevator?
A. Coming down I passed the elevator, and got on Liberty street, and the crowd made a rush, and came near knocking me down. I got down near the corner of Penn street and stayed there, and watched the Union depot burn.
Q. Did you have any conversation with those that were engaged in burning?
A. When I first made my way on the upper part of the hill, there was a number of young men lying on the ground under a fence, a tree, or something, and I asked one of them—he appeared to be lively, he was lying, kicking, and looked as though he was hard at work. Says I, "When is this thing going to stop?" Says he, "At the elevator." Says I, "You ain't gone that far." Says he, "Yes, that has got to come down, too;" and I left him, after talking a few minutes about that.
Q. Who was he?
A. I don't know who he was.
