A. No, sir; he didn't.
Q. Did he say what he intended to do?
A. I asked him the question, and he replied that he was going to the poor-house to get a place to rest his command, and also to get food, and I asked him whether he knew where the poor-house was, and what his information was, and he said that a citizen or some person at Sharpsburg had directed him, and told him to go there, that he could get food there, and get an opportunity to cook his rations.
Q. Did Colonel Norris say anything to you as surgeon of the division about having the column halted at any point?
A. No, sir; he didn't.
Q. To dress any wounds?
A. No, sir; not a word. It was as much as I could do to get him to halt them enough to ask him what I regarded as a very important question, where the command was, that I should join him.
Q. Did he say anything about what his business had been to the command?
A. Not a word; no, sir.
Q. Was there anybody in the carriage with him?
