Q. Strangers?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Where did you go?
A. I went on from there down to look at the firing, and see all that could be seen.
Q. When you arrived at the elevator, did you have any conversation with anybody there?
A. Oh, yes; had a conversation with almost everybody—talking to each other.
Q. Did you say that the elevator was going to be burned?
A. I told several parties what this party had told me on the hill, that he allowed it would come to the elevator, and I began to think there was a good deal of truth in it, because the Union depot was on fire.
Q. Did you see Daniel Corbus near the elevator?
A. I met him at the corner of Fifth and Fulton streets, and we walked down together. I told him what these parties had told me—they were going to burn down the elevator, that was a damn monopoly, too.
