A. Yes; they were paid by them.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. You didn't call on any of the night force to go at that time?
A. No, sir; we couldn't do that. Nothing but the most imperative necessity would require that. We only had patrolmen to cover twenty-seven square miles. At the riot on Saturday night every man was called in from the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, and ninth districts; they were left entirely unprotected.
At this point the committee adjourned until this afternoon, at two o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Pittsburgh, Friday, February 22, 1878.
