Walter G. Wilson, sworn:
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. State your residence, and what position you held in the National Guard in July last?
A. I live at No. 2323 Green street, Philadelphia, and I was major and acting assistant adjutant general with General Brinton, during the July riots.
Q. Did you hear the testimony of Generals Brinton and Mathews?
A. Yes.
Q. In the details as to what occurred at Twenty-eighth street. State whether their testimony was substantially correct?
A. Their testimony was entirely correct, so far as my knowledge went. I was on the ground constantly with General Brinton, during that afternoon, and reported to General Pearson, of my arrival with him. General Pearson was then at the Union depot. The formation of the column and line of march was stated by both Generals Brinton and Mathews, and is substantially correct.
Q. State whether at Twenty-eighth street you heard any command given to fire?
