By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. What time was this?
A. It was, I suppose, one or two o'clock. I cannot tell the time. While I was in there, he told me this was all he had to do—to get on these two trains to go out there.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did you make any further effort to keep the track clear?
A. Yes; the track was kept clear, until the Philadelphia troops came out, and there was such a rush of people, and gathering when they arrived at the depot, that it was utterly impossible to keep them from surrounding.
Q. Did you understand, from what Pearson said to you then, that he had countermanded the order to keep the track clear?
A. Oh, no; the track was being kept clear.
Q. To do nothing but that—to take out these trains?
A. To take out these trains.
