A. I remained at home all night—was not outside.
Q. Monday morning did you return?
A. Monday morning I reported at the works, and we organized there, and I was placed in charge of a patrol or guard we had round the company's works.
Q. For protecting the works?
A. For protecting the works and do what we could for the whole neighborhood.
Q. Did your men all join in that organization?
A. Just what was asked. They did not make an indiscriminate thing of it. We just selected men and placed them on guard, and kept them on all night, and let them off in the morning, but were ready for a call at any time.
Q. Were the men all willing to unite in such a scheme of protection?
A. All that I seen—I heard no objection.
Q. If there is anything else you can enlighten us on state it? I do not think of any further question to ask.
