Senator Yutzy: On Saturday, at the time of the firing?
A. Yes, sir.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Did the Nineteenth regiment remain on the hill?
A. They were laying below us at the gate.
Q. Did they hold their position until six o'clock?
A. There was some of them did, and some of them did not.
Q. How far is the transfer depot from the round-house.
A. I think the transfer depot is on Sixteenth street--six or eight
blocks.
Q. Where were the mob when you marched down to the transfer depot?
A. They were mostly all down along the railroad, at Twenty-eighth
street.
Q. Did you meet with any resistance in marching down?
A. No, sir.
Q. Where were they when you disbanded, at eleven o'clock?
A. They were most everywhere then, because, it seemed to me, that all
the workmen from the south side, Allegheny City, Sharpsburg, and all
from the country had come in here, and so far as I could learn, they
were going to clean out the Philadelphia troops.
Q. Had the burning commenced when you disbanded?
A. No, sir; not that I know of. When I got home, I could see over that
they were burning--that was about twelve o'clock.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Your regiment was resting on the hill, in good order. What position
did they have during the day. Were they at rest--stacked arms?
A. Yes, sir; stacked arms, and we had a guard there.
Q. Your men laid close by the arms?
A. Close by the arms.
0. When you broke ranks down by the Union depot, did you have orders to
re-assemble at any time?
A. No, sir; we did not.
Q. Who gave the order to break ranks?
A. Colonel Grey gave orders to his regiment. So far as I could learn,
General Brown gave him the orders.
Q. Did they take their arms to the armory, or did they go away, each
one taking his own gun home with him?
A. Yes, sir; we were not marched to the armory.
Q. Broke ranks right there at the depot?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Was there any mob there at the depot?
A. Yes, sir; they were running all up and down the street, yelling and
shouting.
By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Was there any effort made by your regiment on the 19th to clear the
crossing, or keep it clear that day?
A. We were there from three or four o'clock in the morning and until
the Philadelphians came in that day, and kept it clear.
