Q. You do not know of any others being arrested that day in that vicinity?
Q. Nor on Friday in that vicinity to your knowledge?
A. On Friday morning, I think, the military was out with the sheriff and his posse.
A. On Saturday, no, not on Saturday. The military were in charge of the railroad property on Saturday.
Q. Did you or any other officer that you know of have a warrant in his hands for the arrest of some ten or twelve men?
A. Yes; I had a warrant for the arrest of ten or twelve men that were interfering with the railroad employés.
A. Before the warrants were served they were re-called from me.
A. The information was taken away by the attorneys of the railroad company.
A. Not the warrants; but I was notified by the mayor that the information was taken from the office, and that the matter was placed in the hands of the sheriff.
Q. Did he instruct you to return the warrants?
A. The warrants were null and void then when the information was taken away. The warrants were transferred to the sheriff.
Q. Did you hear anybody make any threats against the railroad officers?
A. Well, Davis jumped on the switch, and swore that no trains should go out, that he would die in his tracks first. Those were the only threats I heard on Thursday.
Q. Were those directed against the railroad officers or any of their employés?
A. The threats were against the running out of the trains.
Q. Do you know anybody going to the officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and advising them to leave the city for fear that they would suffer violence?
Q. You did not hear anybody make such threats?
Q. When did you first get the warrants for the arrest of those men--what day was it?
A. It seems to me the warrants were issued on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning, but I am not positive about that. I can refer to the warrants and see.
Q. How long did you hold them before you got notice that the information was withdrawn.
A. I think the warrants were held by me--I am not positive about the time that they were issued to me--but it seems to me that the warrants were in my hands; just one day and night.
Q. Were not your instructions to quietly take those men?
A. My instructions were to quietly take those men up. They were my instructions. At the time the warrants were issued there was considerable excitement, and the instructions I got in relation to it were that after the excitement allayed somewhat, the warrants could be quietly served without bringing about a conflict, and owing to the pretty slim police force, it was considered wise to wait until the trouble would be over.
