A. Nothing.
Q. Knew nothing of that until it was issued?
A. In my telegram to the Adjutant General was simply a suggestion that the major general commanding the Pittsburgh division—I didn't know who he was at the time—should furnish the troops.
W. W. Jennings, re-called.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. You may identify those papers, if you will state what they are?
A. This is my proclamation—the first one. Both are proclamations of mine, and this is an order. [Indicating.]
Q. Can you state the date when the first proclamation was issued?
A. The first proclamation was placarded over town—both these proclamations was placarded over town by eight o'clock Tuesday morning, the 24th. I arrived here on the 23d, about seven o'clock in the evening. These were all printed in posters.
