A. No, sir; I didn't see anybody try to start a train during the trouble.
Q. What was the object of the men assembling at that point?
A. From the understanding I had from the men, after talking with a few of the men, it was that they had struck against the double-headers.
Q. Were those men members of the Trainmen's union?
Q. Why were they assembled in force on the track?
A. That is more than I can tell what their motive was.
A. Nothing particularly--nothing more than that they had struck.
A. I talked with some few of the men I knew.
Q. Did you admonish them that it was wrong to be assembled in such large numbers there?
A. Not that I know of. I was not in a very good humor just as I got up there. I had been insulted just before I reached Twenty-eighth street.
A. By Mr. Watt. When I reached there there were only a few of those parties that I knew.
Q. The Trainmen's Union, at that time, was not in existence?
A. They had not had a meeting for some time previous.
Q. Did they have any meetings after that?
Q. Was the organization formally disbanded?
A. It just died out. They had no meetings called of the order.
Q. When did this union start, to your knowledge?
A. It was about the latter part of May, I think, or the 1st of June.
Q. As a member of the organization, what action would your organization have taken in reference to that unlawful assemblage there?
A. My idea is that they would have discountenanced anything of the kind--any burning, or pillaging, or anything of that kind.
A. That is more than I can tell. I cannot tell anything about what men will do after getting started.
Q. Would your organization have any means of disciplining the members of it who interfered with the movements of the trains?
Q. You mean to say, in your organization, according to the rules and regulations of it, if they struck, they passed resolutions that no trains should go out?
Q. Was it the intention of the men to interfere with the movement of the trains?
A. Not to the best of my knowledge. I never heard any such resolution, and I never heard any person speak of it that way.
Q. Do you know any of the men that did interfere with the movement of the trains who belonged to the union?
Q. In that arrangement to strike on the 27th of June--how extensive was that strike to be--how far was it to extend--what roads was it to include?
