“Did you stand that way all the time?”—“Yes, except when we lit our pipes.”
“Then did you stand the same way after you lighted your pipes?”—“Yes.”
“Then how could you see these men if you had your backs to the wall?”—“I looked over my head.”
“You looked over your head all the time?”—“Yes, when we looked at the speakers.”
“And you never saw these men before?”—“No.”
“Yet from that point in the alley, the speakers eight feet or more distant, a crowd between you, you looking over your shoulders in the dark, you recognize these men the first time you saw them?”—“Yes.”
“Where were the police when Fielden said. ‘Now, a word more boys, and we will go home’?”—“They were coming up Desplaines street.”
“Where was Spies then?”—“I don’t know. I don’t remember.”
“Well, didn’t you see Spies on the wagon?”—“Yes.”
“When?”—“I don’t think now. Early in the evening, I think.”
