A. Did not see him get out of the carriage. I could not say positively that he got out of the carriage at all. He might have done so. I did not look back to see.
By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. Did you say that the troops had orders not to fire upon the men that were following them, firing, on Sunday morning.
A. That was in order not to bring on a conflict as long as we could avoid it—to pay no attention to them. They were firing with pistols, and I did not reply to them, until they commenced to fire with rifles—a number of men.
Q. Did General Brinton give orders to that effect?
A. I do not know who the orders came from. I got orders from my brigade commander, General Loud.
Q. That the troops were not to fire upon the mob that were following on?
A. It was not so much on the mob following, as people on the sidewalk, and in the doors and windows of the houses, firing with small pistols?
Q. At the time there was firing by the troops?
A. After a time, when the rioters in different places, under cover, generally, at the windows, and behind signs, and around corners of buildings, commenced firing with rifles, then we returned that fire. In some cases the men standing on the sidewalk deliberately pulled out pistols, and fired at the rear of the column, just as we got by there. In one case I saw a man standing within four feet of a policeman on one side of him, and a squad of policemen, about ten or twenty feet on his other flank—saw this man, who was in citizen's dress, take a revolver and fire into our ranks, and no reply was made to him.
