A. I do not know that he did—I do not recollect it.
Q. Did he tell you anything about Colonel Norris having been to see him?
A. I don't think he did. As soon as I found they had left the round-house, I heard they had gone to the arsenal. I heard Captain Breck say to somebody that they had gone to the arsenal. I drove there, and found they were not there, and somebody said they had gone to the right. I followed out, and crossed the railroad track, and came to the hospital, and down to the hotel again. I found they had gone to Sharpsburg. I hired another carriage, and drove out to Sharpsburg; and when I got to Sharpsburg, I was bothered which road to take, and I daresn't ask anybody. I found the mark of the shoes that the column had moved in the road, and I followed up that road some distance.
Q. General Brinton did not mention the fact of Colonel Norris having met him that day?
A. I don't recollect of it.
Q. Did he say anything about having received any orders from General Latta?
A. No, sir; he asked me for orders as soon as I got there. I told him I had none. Then I went back to General Latta for the orders.
Q. Why did you go back?
A. He wanted orders.
Q. Did General Brinton send you back for orders?
