Q. Had you gone there on Thursday, or Friday, or Saturday morning, and made use of the police that you had under your command, could you not have prevented the disturbance?
A. Permit me to say again that it was impossible for me to have any connection with the men who had charge of that, because I could not control them. They are men that would not listen to me, and that I could have no influence with.
Q. Whom do you refer to?
A. I refer to the leading officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Q. You had control of your police force, hadn't you?
A. I had.
Q. You have control of the affairs of the city.
A. Yes, sir.
Q. And the organization of the police?
A. Yes, sir.
