A. I didn't hear anything about joining him. General Brinton asked questions about where the other troops were. Talked to Norris, and made inquiries where the other troops were, and why they didn't come to his relief, and how disappointed they were that they didn't come, and matters of that kind.
Q. Did he tell Colonel Norris that General Latta had given an order to Captain Aull.
A. I didn't hear anything of the kind. Didn't hear anything said about orders.
Q. Were you present during the whole of the time that they were together?
A. I was not more than four paces away all the time they were together. If anything was said that I didn't hear, it must have been purposely said in an undertone to avoid being overheard.
Q. Did you know Mr. Stewart, who accompanied Colonel Norris?
A. Didn't know him. Never heard of the man before.
Q. Did you see any person in the group not an officer in the command?
A. No, sir.
Q. Do you recognize Major Stewart here as being the man who came up with Colonel Norris?
