Q. Were there any women and children mixed up with the crowd?
A. There were some on the street and hill-side.
Q. That crowd had been accumulating all day I suppose?
Q. How was it in regard to any boisterous or noisy demonstrations?
A. I would say that some of them were pretty boisterous. Some of them would be about half tight, and were raising a little excitement here and among themselves.
Q. When did the crowd begin to get demonstrative or boisterous, at what time in the day?
A. Along about twelve o'clock probably, and about five it got worse. The work shops and all the mills, as a general thing, shut down about three o'clock on Saturday. I suppose that helped to increase the crowd.
Q. Were you among the crowd during Saturday night?
Q. Were you present at Twenty-eighth street when the firing of the soldiers took place?
A. I was between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth streets when they began to shoot--about half way.
Q. You were in sight so that you could see?
Q. Did you hear any orders given to fire?
A. No; I was not near enough to hear, but I saw one or two missiles thrown from the hillside and the shooting began after that.
A. I cannot say that; they came from the thick part of the crowd on the hillside.
Q. Was there any firing before the missiles were thrown?
A. I don't remember; it was a little after.
Q. Did it appear to be pistol shots or musketry?
A. I cannot tell whether they came from the hill or from the soldiers. There were some scattering shots, and then a kind of general volley.
Q. Were those shots pistol shots or musket shots?
Q. What effect did the firing have upon the crowd?
A. It appeared to drive them back for a while.
A. They scattered in all directions--some went north, south, east, and west--in every direction--the best way they could get out.
A. Near down to Twenty-eighth street--that is about the only place that was obstructed.
Q. When did the mob begin to reassemble after that?
A. It took place somewhere along about six o'clock, I suppose. I was not there.
A. Sunday morning when I came in everything was on fire--was burning--seven and a half o'clock.
A. What we call the south yard--the tracks south of the main track between Lawrenceville and Twenty-eighth street--they were burning, and they were burning the upper round-house then. I was along on the hill side, within sight of the track, from seven and a half that morning until eight o'clock that night.
