By Mr. Reyburn:
Q. You mean from the position they occupied, they were company officers?
A. I suppose they were company officers. They were in the rear of the two ranks facing me.
Q. Had any stones and missiles been thrown at the soldiers before the command to charge bayonets was given?
A. I cannot say positively as to before the command to charge bayonets was given.
Q. Were any thrown at the troops before the command to fire was given? Were there any shots fired by the crowd before the command to fire was given?
A. Not that I either saw or heard—not before the command to fire.
Q. Missiles had been thrown?
A. They had been thrown—I saw them thrown.
Q. Were any of the soldiers hurt?
