Q. Did he stop and address the crowd?
A. I suppose he was addressing the crowd when I was going round, but as soon as he gave the command to clear the track, I was walking round to get on the hill.
Q. You are sure you heard General Pearson give the command?
A. Yes; positively.
Q. It was not somebody told you that that was Pearson?
A. No, sir; I know the man.
Q. Did you notice how he was dressed that day?
A. Yes, sir—not particularly. I noticed he had a blouse on, with brass buttons on, buttoned up. I suppose I was as close to him as I am to you when he gave the command to clear the track. He said he had orders to clear the track. As soon as I seen they were going to clear the track, I got off the track and walked around.
Q. Did he have a sword on?
A. Not that I could see.
