A. Any impression of that kind.
Q. And if such statements were made by the crowd, they were made
without authority?
A. Yes, sir.
By Mr. Means:
Q. Was it not an assertion made here that that was the strikers this
side, not the rioters?
A. The strikers. The crowd there claimed that the citizens were in
sympathy with them, and they, too, had offered them a thousand barrels
of flour. I think that was mentioned in the _Chronicle_. I should just
say, I had never seen one of the strikers or rioters until I saw one of
them in July--that is the first I ever saw any of them.
