Q. Who commanded the Sixteenth regiment?
A. I can't say positively about that. I believe Colonel Good is commander, or was the commander.
Q. Did you meet him, or have any conversation with him?
A. I did not come in contact with any of the officers of the Sixteenth regiment then.
Q. Knew nothing of his conduct but what was soldierly?
A. Never heard anything but what was right on the part of the officers of the regiment; and, undoubtedly, a large portion of the Sixteenth regiment was right. And I had received positive information that members of the Sixteenth regiment had been dealing out ammunition amongst the rioters in the crowds on the street during the day time.
Q. Of what day?
A. That was on Tuesday, the 24th of July.
Q. Did you have any conversation with more than one of the regiments?
A. Yes; I spoke to several, as they were walking about, and they did not seem to care about being connected with the military at all. They were walking round independent—didn't seem to care whether they had any duty to perform as soldiers. I did not see very many of them. I saw, probably, five or six in that way; but I heard a number of reports in regard to their giving out ammunition. I have that from worthy sources.
