A. It appeared to me at that time that it was an organization, but I don't say it positively myself.
Q. Was there any particular party to command it?
Q. What did the crowd seem to be aiming at, at that time--was it the destruction of property?
A. I can't say that. There was a great deal of destruction and thieving going on.
Q. Was this firing confined entirely to railroad property?
Q. Was there any attempt made by any one, so far as you saw, to fire private property?
Q. It seemed to be confined entirely to railroad property?
Q. This man Marshall you spoke of, was entirely alone when you saw him fire the car?
Q. Nobody seemed to be acting in concert with him?
Q. Did this coke car stand entirely alone?
A. It stood in a train. They kept running cars down, six or seven at a time, against each other. This came down with the rest of them.
Q. Describe that. The firing of this car would communicate to others?
Q. After the car was fired, was it put in motion?
Q. When you speak of running cars down, where were they running them from?
A. From out the road some place. I think it is down grade this way.
Q. Did the cars stop at Twenty-eighth street?
A. The round-house is on Twenty-eighth street.
Q. Did the cars stop near the round-house?
A. I suppose they were in one of the round-houses.
A. I walked down, and the guard was standing there. I suppose so.
Q. The cars that were run down, then, would stop somewhere near the round-house?
Q. Was there any effort made to fire the round-house, that you saw?
Q. Was there any attack being made upon the round-house by the mob at that time?
A. I can't say that there was. Not that I know of.
Q. Was there anything said by the mob about the soldiers being quartered in the round-house?
A. I went out in the evening about six or seven o'clock, along there. I stayed along Liberty street and was once or twice on the railroad, and saw Marshall, and along Liberty street at four or five o'clock in the morning.
A. I was twice, once or twice, upon the railroad.
A. That just appeared to be--I stood along the edge of the railroad, and this car was on the second or third track, off the edge of the railroad.
A. Not more than five or six rods--something like that.
A. No; not just in the crowd. I was standing looking at them.
