A. We had a plan of battle arranged there. Huidekoper started on its accomplishment. We chartered a steamboat, and we managed to smuggle several boxes of ammunition from the hotel, and he went to Rochester, believing his troops were coming down. He ought to have been in Pittsburgh by noon, but the troops were stopped by the riot.
Q. They were stopped by reports at Greenfield?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Who was the colonel commanding these troops that were on their way?
A. I think they were in charge of a major on the Allegheny Valley road. They were in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Magee.
Q. They were not in charge of Colonel Carpenter?
A. Possibly so. I don't know that. Magee—I had communications with him.
Q. Do you know why they stopped at Greenfield?
A. No, sir.
Q. Did you ever try to ascertain the causes?
