A. No, sir; I think not, they were further up, right on the crossing. The two lines reached—suppose this is the lower line of Twenty-eighth street. [Illustrating.] They brought these lines right up to within ten feet, perhaps, of the lower line of the street, and then those two companies were right here. [Indicating.]
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do I understand you to say, that the company that was marched toward Twenty-eighth street did connect with those two wings of the flanks?
A. The company was practically covered on the flanks. There was a flag-house in here. [Indicating.]
Q. Some space between that company and the flanks of the regiment?
A. Yes. There was a little space, because I remember when I went down I went around the left flank.
Q. Did you see any of the officers of the Sixth division in the rear of this first company, marching towards Twenty-eighth street. Did you see Colonel Moore?
A. I do not remember of seeing him. I might have seen him.
Q. Where did you see Pearson? You said you saw Pearson, and nodded to him?
A. That was when he was marching up, and I followed him with my eye until I saw him on the crossing where the crowd was, but this was before they attempted to drive the crowd back, and there was one company—it was a small company—and they did not make much of an effort with them. They sent back for more men. I do not think the Gatlings were brought up at first. My recollection is they came up with those other companies that were brought up from the rear.
