Q. State what knowledge you have of the late riots?
A. When I heard I was to be subpœnaed here, I wrote down what I know about it, and perhaps that would be the quickest way of telling. My first knowledge of the riot was on the evening of the day of the riot, the 21st of July, about half past five o'clock in the afternoon, when I was returning to my office from my calls, and one of my neighbors came running to me in a hurried manner, and stated that a little boy had been shot and needed my services. I accompanied the messenger to a drug store in the vicinity of my house, and on my way there this messenger informed me how it happened, and told me the boy had been sitting on the hill side above the Twenty-eighth street crossing, and that he also was there, and that there was a volley of musketry fired from the soldiers, who were down on the railroad track, and that the little boy had screamed out——
Q. I hardly think this comes within the scope of our investigation, unless you can give us the number of persons killed and wounded. That might be within the scope of our investigation; but testimony as to the persons that were wounded is hardly within the scope of our investigation?
A. I do not know what I was subpœnaed here for. I was one of the surgeons in charge of the wounded at the West Pennsylvania hospital.
Q. State the number that were brought there wounded?
A. There were seven wounded men brought there that evening.
Q. How many soldiers?
A. Two soldiers. One of them wounded with a stone and the other sun-struck.
Q. Who were the other parties?
A. I do not know who they were. They were citizens—I do not know whether they were citizens or not. They were strangers to me.
