A. Major and surgeon.
Q. If you know the reasons that induced that verdict you may state them?
A. My opinion is pretty much hearsay. I was not a member of the court. The proceedings were reviewed by General Brinton, and he can give you better the facts that led to the verdict. His order didn't approve of the action of the court.
Q. It didn't?
A. No.
Q. Were the men discharged?
A. The result of the court-martial has not been promulgated as yet.
Q. Had you any men that refused to report for duty when you first got the call to proceed to Pittsburgh?
A. I don't think there was any instance of that kind. My regiment had on duty four hundred and sixty-four men out of a roll of about five hundred and sixty, and some of these men who were absent had made efforts to report, but were unable on account of lack of transportation, or on account of being sent back after they started.
Q. Did any of your men who were not able to join you the night you left undertake to come to you at Pittsburgh afterwards?
