Q. This crowd, when they started out—you could tell something by the way in which they started, whether they were moving toward an objective point?
A. Oh, yes, sir.
Q. That they appeared to be moving towards——
A. Yes, sir; just for instance, as you would stand by, and see a large crowd passing, and you would wonder where they were going, and you would keep looking to see that they were all directing themselves to one point, and you would then say, well, they are going there. Then I think that there is a Captain McAllister, who is living in Rockville, a few miles over here on the Susquehanna, he can tell you some very amusing things, and I don't know but a little humiliating, too.

Q. Is he a member of the National Guard?
A. No.
