Q. When you went to the scene of the riot on Saturday night, did you use efforts yourself to suppress the riot or stop it?
A. I went into the crowd and talked with them, but I might as well have talked to the moon.
Q. Who did you talk with?
A. There were several that I talked to that I did not know. I only met one man that I did know, and he had been a lieutenant of police.
Q. He was engaged in rioting?
A. He was there with the crowd and very muddled.
Q. How long before that had he been lieutenant of police?
A. He had been lieutenant of police, I suppose, as near as I can judge, some three weeks before.
Q. And discharged under the order discharging the day force?
A. Yes, sir.
