Q. How many men would it have taken to have stopped that that night?
A. Lord knows! I can't tell. I think it would have taken a good many. Near a thousand men cooped themselves up in some houses, and cooped all those men up in those houses after having done the firing. It was yielding to the mob. It was just saying plainly, that the mob was stronger than the soldiers, and that forty or fifty policemen, who had never been in a disturbance of this nature or kind, would simply have been suicidal?
Q. After coming to the central station, Sunday morning, did you return again?
A. Yes, sir; I did.
Q. What hour?
A. That I could not tell you. As I told you before, I took no note of time. It was after I had seen the police committee, and had talked with some of the citizens, with regard to a citizens' meeting, I went up on.
Q. During the day, on Sunday, how many policemen had you in the vicinity of the riot?
A. That I can't tell. I did not suppose, that all told, so far as I could guess or know, there were not more than thirty or forty.
Q. Did you make any demand to recruit your police—demand upon men to serve on the police?
A. That had been done by advertisement in the Sunday morning papers, by the chief of police?
