A. Never ending and always beginning. Do you expect to put me in the hole, Mr. Yutzy?
Q. Not at all. I would like to know why you considered yourself superseded by any other authorities here in the city, the disturbance having commenced?
A. I have tried to impress that upon you half a dozen times.
Q. Were you informed, by either of those parties, that you were not needed?
A. I have told you two or three times no, and I shall have to continue answering it no every time you ask me.
Q. Did you not consider it your duty to make an effort to suppress the riot and disturbance after they had made an effort to do so?
A. After they had made an effort and abandoned it, I did make an effort.
Q. During the time you were making that effort, did you not consider it your duty also, as chief officer of the city, to suppress any riot or disturbance?
A. I think I told you several times.
Q. Answer that question?
