A. Not while I was there; no, sir.
Q. How long were you there.
A. I was there three quarters of an hour, perhaps an hour.
Q. Did you see any portion of the military in ranks?
A. I saw no portion of them drawn up in line of battle, or anything like it; no, sir; or company front either. I think the only men I saw, were those that were without arms, walking up and down with the crowd, talking to them, and the sentinels on post over the stacked arms.
Q. They appeared to be the only ones on duty?
A. They appeared to be the only ones on duty at that time.
Q. As the militia were passing here, did they throw away their arms or ammunition?
A. Well, not that I saw, except that Major Buffington found a case filled with cartridges belonging to the Gatling guns.
At this point the committee adjourned until to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock.
