A. The first firing came from there.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. From what direction did the stones and other missiles come?
A. They came from every direction.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Was there any pistol firing from the side of the hill?
A. After the firing commenced it was very hard to detect in which direction it came. It seemed to come in all directions, and the stones were striking against the muskets of the men as they held them up. It was very hard to detect where the firing came from.
Q. Was there any positive order given to fire?
A. I didn't hear it, and I didn't give it, and I don't think there was, further than the general order I gave, if we were attacked that we should defend ourselves.
