A. Red, marked with gold braid.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. General Pearson, then, had a fatigue cap?
A. Yes; such as prescribed for major generals to wear.
Q. What was it made of—the blue cap?
A. Dark blue cloth, with a velvet band.
Q. Gold wreath, with the letters U.S. in front?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did he wear this cap up there, just prior to the firing of the military on the mob?
A. No, sir; not just prior. On Friday, when I reported to him, he had on a straw hat, a white vest, and a blouse, before he and I came down from the Union depot, and we put on our uniforms in the evening. I suppose between eight and nine o'clock. It was not dark.
