Lieutenant M. W. Lyon, sworn:
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Just state your rank?
A. First lieutenant of ordinance.
Q. Stationed at——
A. Allegheny arsenal.
Q. State what came under your observation here on the morning of the 22d—Sunday morning?
A. We have Sunday morning inspection about eight o'clock. I finished the inspection, and returned to my quarters and had hold of the door, when I heard the firing down street. I turned to look out to see what it was, when I heard a yell and a lot of men running over the wall—jumping over the wall. I ran up to the gate in that direction. I thought they were the mob. Soldiers were running. I thought it was our own guard. When I got as far as that large warehouse, I met this officer, and I took him to Major Buffington's quarters.
Q. Did you know who the officer was?
