A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did he have any braid or anything of that kind about the uniform?
A. No; I don't think there was. I don't think there was anything to distinguish that he was a general or an officer of any kind.
Q. That is, to distinguish his rank?
A. No, sir; at least I didn't see it.
Q. Did he have brass buttons on his blouse?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did you take particular notice of it?
A. I was talking to him a few minutes before. The way I came to speak to him, we had gone up to the road above the track, and I had got through the guard. There was a guard across the track, and I had come through, and the party that had come with me—there was three of us, the guard wouldn't let them through, and the general was standing there and I asked him to let them through, and he said certainly, and they let the party through—that is the way I came to speak to him.
Q. Was that soon after or before the firing?
