A. Just as soon as I could get off the track. As soon as I heard the command "fire," I commenced my way back in this crowd on the track, just as quick as I could get off and run.
Q. About how long did it take you to get through that crowd and behind the oil-house?
A. Didn't take me very long. I was not very long getting there, I know that.
Q. A minute?
A. I do not think I was a minute getting off the track. I was over a minute getting behind the oil-house.
Q. You were there not over a minute before you heard the firing?
A. I am sure of that.
Q. Do you think it was two minutes after the order to fire was given, before the firing began?
A. I think so; yes, sir.
