A. I think so, yes, sir. I came in the room and found him there. If I had a report here I could talk more plain.
Q. You mean the Adjutant General's report?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Can you state the nature of the dispatch?
A. If I saw the book I could state which dispatch it is.
Q. Did you see any other one than those that are published in the Adjutant General's report?
A. I don't recollect of seeing any other. I was in General Latta's head-quarters off and on during the evening, being cut off from my division, and naturally went to the next head-quarters, and I was in there during the evening, trying to get my rations out to the troops. I was commissary of the first division, acting quarter-master at the time, I had some ammunition there as well as rations, and I was in the room and out of it until pretty near midnight, and then I attempted to join General Brinton by myself, and went up street in citizen's clothes.
Q. Did you succeed?
A. No, sir; could not get to the round-house, found that I would get shot very likely by our own men as I was in citizens clothes, and looked about as much like a rioter as any of the rest of them.
Q. Did General Brinton complain of being short of ammunition in any of those dispatches?
