Q. I suppose you can tell what the conduct of the militia was after you came home and took charge?
A. I had every faith in them. The troops that I went to Pittsburgh with, and the troops I went to Luzerne county with, I think they would have done anything I could have expected with that many men.
By Senator Yutzy:
