A. Yes; that is about the position they stood.
Q. Lengthwise, down this street?
A. Yes; and then they turned right around, as near as I can recollect it. When I saw them facing, each man stood right behind the other, and they turned right around and faced.
Q. In what direction?
A. Towards Washington avenue, where the crowd was coming up.
By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Faced towards you?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. They fired pretty close to you?
A. Yes, sir. I did not know what was going on, for about a minute, until I heard one buzz pass my ear, and I thought it was time for me to get out. I ran back into Mr. Hunt's building after the fire was over, and they began to form a line across Washington—right on Washington avenue—began to form in line; then I came out.
