Q. At what place?
A. At the Union Depot hotel.
Q. At what time?
A. About eight o'clock on Sunday morning.
Q. What were they?
A. As near as I can remember them—I was not the officer supposed to hear them, but they were given in an ordinary tone of voice—the order was congratulatory to General Brinton on his retreat from the round-house, as to his generalship in getting out of the round-house, and upon his march out Penn square to the arsenal. That is a portion of the order I distinctly remember. Further, when I asked General Latta where I should join the command, he told me to go to the arsenal.
Q. Did you have any conversation with General Latta at that time?
A. I asked him where the command was, and how to get there.
Q. Did you hear any other command given by General Latta to General Brinton?
A. I did not. I met Major Norris returning from the command. He had joined them, and I asked him where they were, and he said on the hill, and that they were going to the poor-house. He said to me nothing at all in regard to any other destination. This hill, I suppose, was a quarter of a mile after the bridge had been crossed—after crossing the river.
