A. I judge—I was on the extreme right—I suppose it was the firing in the rear. My position on the extreme right prevented me from seeing what took place; but I have no question that the troops were fired into, though I could not see it myself.
Q. Did you see any firing along the route from the round-house?
A. I didn't, though I heard shots.
Q. You heard shots?
A. Yes.
Q. State what the conduct of the men was in the round-house during the night?
A. My observation was almost entirely confined to my own corps. I never left my regiment, except to visit the detachments on duty, and so far as my regiment was concerned they were entirely under my control. The troops in the other buildings I didn't see.
Q. Was there any demoralization discoverable?
A. None that I saw. I never saw men more patient or under better discipline.
Q. How long did you halt at the arsenal?
