A. That I would not positively say. I did not pay that much attention to him.
Q. Did any of the officers have swords, or did you notice the other officers?
A. I noticed an officer that was pointed out to me as General Brinton.
Q. Did he have a sword?
A. He had a sword.
Q. The captains of the companies had swords?
A. The officers had, yes, sir.

A. Yes; but I would not say positively that General Pearson had a sword on, because I did not take that particular notice of him. I did not think it was necessary. I did not know they would ever have any trouble.
Q. You are sure you heard Pearson give the command?
