Q. Did Lieutenant Lyon make any such remark?
A. I never knew such an officer was there.
Q. How long did you remain inside of the grounds?
A. I don't think I was there over two minutes—maybe I was longer. The firing was quite heavy after I got in there, and I went down to join my command.
Q. How were you dressed when you met Major Buffington?
A. In a blouse and a cap, with two stars on it, and blue pants. One of my shoulder straps during the night had been torn down, and it hung, and I took it off.
Q. Was the other on?
A. No; I had taken both off when I found one of them was torn.
