A. I do not remember any command to cease firing.
By Senator Reyburn:
Q. Did you see General Pearson at that time?
A. I saw him once that afternoon. That is the time we were going up from the Union depot to the Twenty-eighth street crossing; at least I saw a major general I took to be General Pearson.
Q. Did you hear any general give a command in this way: "Order your men to fire?"
A. No, sir; I did not.
Q. How was General Pearson dressed?
A. If this was General Pearson, he had a military coat on with shoulder straps, and no sword.
Q. A cap?
A. I think he had a cap on.
