By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Would not your police force which you could have gathered together have been some assistance to them in keeping the peace?
A. If the sheriff had asked me for the police as a posse to help him I could have given a hundred men.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. I want to ask you this question, if you think that you can be superseded by the military?
A. If I am not?
Q. Yes; can you be superseded by the military in your powers and duties?
A. If I had charge they would not supersede me.
Q. Is it not your duty to take charge?
A. That duty had been performed by the sheriff.
