your command for his conduct that night?

A. Not for his conduct no.

Q. What do you mean by your answer?

A. They were asking when they were to shoot when Johnstone was shot at. I don’t know the officer who said, when are you going to let us open fire. I said, never, if we can hinder it. I said, don’t be too anxious at all. He said very well. And I walked off. Those are the only words I had with any officer.

Q. Did the privates, for instances, carry out the orders that were given to them: are you satisfied with them?

A. They certainly did, to the best of my knowledge.

Q. To the best of your knowledge?

A. Yes.

THE CORONER: How many men had you wounded at the Boulevard?

A. I could not say definitely.

Q. Wounded by bullets?

A. I could not say definitely because I don’t know.

Q. Had you any of them?

A. At that time I did not know where the Boulevard was. It was between there and up at the other corner.

Q. How many had you at the corner of Valier Street and the cabstand?

A. We had not a man wounded there.

Q. Not a man?

A. Not a man.

Q. When they started fire you were not there?

A. That is, at that corner?

Q. At the corner of St. Valier, St. Joseph Streets and the cabstand?

A. I was not.

Q. Do you know if the Riot Act was read there?

A. I don’t.
