A. That I can't tell. You know I couldn't see very well, in the first place.
Q. Did you notice whether they were uniformed or not?
A. Oh, yes.
Q. No officers then?
A. That I could not say. I did hear that there was either a lieutenant or captain, but I am not positive in regard to that, but those were the general facts that I witnessed.
Q. How large was the crowd of half grown boys around them?
A. I should suppose, maybe, there were ten or twelve, that is, of the immediate crowd, that also was looking on, were attached to the body of men that were bringing the soldiers over. You might say that, perhaps, there were ten or twelve; but the crowd outside of the immediate circle of young fellows that had the guns was larger, and for the most part I guess they were spectators.
Q. When they went over the bridge in going out, how large a crowd was there?
A. It was a pretty large crowd, perhaps it numbered—I really don't know, but should suppose that that crowd may have numbered two hundred or thereabouts, but they didn't all go across the bridge, because I was told that the bridge-keeper kept them back, and would not let them all go, but I suppose the van of the crowd got over before they closed the gates.
Q. What is the bridge-keepers name—give it in full if you can?
