Q. Tell us in what manner you cleared the crossing.
A. I marched company front across the track towards the river, and then I would wheel from the left to right, and marched back again, asking the crowd to get off the track, which they would do reluctantly, but I had no trouble.
Q. At a charge bayonet?
A. I do not think I came to a charge bayonet at all.
Q. Just simply marched through and back?
A. Yes; at a carry.
Q. In what order was your company drawn up—in two lines?
A. Sometimes in double rank, and sometimes in single rank.
Q. Would you sweep the track the width of your company?
A. There was generally two companies detailed. One would be passing, perhaps east, keeping the crowd towards East Liberty, and the other would face the river.
