Q. Where did the troops stay during the night?
A. I was not there during the night.
Q. Do you know from your own knowledge?
A. They stayed in what we call the lower round-house and lock-shops.
Q. What troops stayed there?
A. I understand the Philadelphia troops, General Brinton's command, and the two pieces belonging to the battery here were taken into the round-house. The Fourteenth regiment had been stationed at the transfer building. The reason, I think, for their going into the shops, as I understood it, was that the men who were there had come without any preparation, and as there were to be no trains run out that night, they would go into the shops to be as comfortable as possible.
Q. Was any further effort made during that night to start any trains?
A. We were unable to make any efforts further.
Q. Can you tell us what became of the crowd during the night?
A. The crowd around the buildings accumulated so that in front of the office, at the corner of Twenty-sixth and Liberty, and for some distance on either side of it—that being the head-quarters—the office—they had taken possession of Mr. Pitcairn's office for the head-quarters—the crowd was very dense, and packed down Twenty-sixth street, probably half way to Penn, and on Liberty street, in every direction, for a square—an immense crowd of people yelling with rage against the troops.
