By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Did you see General Loud there?
A. I did; yes, sir.
Q. Was he present during the time that this talk occurred between Colonel Norris and General Brinton?
A. That I cannot say. There were several of General Brinton's staff with him; but when we halted we left the line of the troops, and went down to the banks of this stream I speak of. There was several of his staff officers, and some of the colonels, whose names I am not acquainted with.
Q. Did you see General Matthews with him?
A. I do not remember.
