Q. Wear a belt?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Sword?
A. Sword and blouse, precisely like the one General Pearson had on, except the shoulder straps.
Q. Did you know where General Pearson was, about the time the firing took place?
A. I knew where he started off. He gave me orders to remain with General Brinton, while he would go to the telegraph office.
Q. How long before the firing?
A. I should judge five or seven minutes.
Q. And started, did he?
A. Yes, started; I judge that from the fact that General Brinton went down the Weccacoe Legion and the Gatling guns, and go through the two lines that had been formed on each side of the track. Just as he had sent down that order, General Pearson started, and I should judge it would take time to get the guns up. I have no distinct knowledge of the time at all. It was quite a little time before they were able to get the guns up over the ties.
