A. Not until we returned from seeing General Brinton.
Q. And when General Brinton had marched north, you say then you supposed him to be retreating, and you gave up all hopes of furnishing any provision or anything else—when General Brinton, you say, went north, out Penn avenue—I believe it is north?
A. North-east; yes, sir.
Q. Then, after you found he crossed the Allegheny river you gave up all hopes and quit making any efforts to furnish him with either provision or ammunition?
A. No, sir; we did not. I believe that every effort was made to furnish his men.
By Mr. Lindsey:

A. As a volunteer aid of the Adjutant General.
Q. And did what he directed you to do simply?
A. At what time?
