A. Certainly; and the police was stationed across the street to protect them. Whether they would have stood fire or not, I can't tell.
Q. What assistance did you offer him?
A. The police that were there within thirty feet of me.
Q. If he was not molested by the mob at that time, he wanted no further assistance?
A. You won't let me tell this story straight. If you let me commence at the beginning you will understand it.
Q. Did you offer assistance at any other time than the one you speak of now?
A. I told you that I offered assistance on Saturday night, and it was refused.
Q. To whom did you offer the assistance on Saturday night?
A. I sent Officer Coulson to the fire department to tell them to come and aid the police.
Q. We have had Officer Coulson and his story?
