By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Do you know of any orders, written or verbal, urging General Brinton during the time he was in the round-house, or after he retired from there, within twenty-four hours, from General Latta, as to his course to be pursued after he left the round-house?
A. I do not know as I am a competent witness on that. I heard it second hand.
Q. Just what you know of your own personal knowledge?
A. I didn't see the order. I was informed through my brigade commander that the orders were to go east out Penn street, that was in reply to my expression of opinion that we ought to go to the Union depot and get our ammunition and supplies there. He told me General Brinton had orders to go east out of Penn street when we left. Of course, like a good soldier, I shut up. I supposed that was sufficient knowledge of the order.
Q. Any orders to General Guthrie to your knowledge?
A. I did not hear of any. All that was explained to me was that the order was to go east at Penn street when we left.
