A. He stayed as long as he possibly could stay—as long as it was possible to stay. I think it was ten minutes of eight o'clock when the order was given for the troops to fall in for the purpose of leaving. At that time the roof of the round-house was on fire, and the building was full of smoke, and the only part that was not on fire was the office building of the upholstery shop, through which we went out. The piles of lumber in the direction of the Union depot—I don't know whether east or north from that—were all afire. Shortly before leaving, I went to the upholstery shops, and could see nothing but a mass of flames to the Union depot.
Q. Were any guards thrown out to guard the approaches to the round-house during the night?
A. Yes; as far as it was prudent or possible to throw them.
Q. Were any attacks made on the guards during the night by the mob?
A. There was no attack. It was a desultory kind of firing during the entire night from every direction. Men would conceal themselves behind piles of lumber, and in the windows of the houses, and behind chimneys, on roofs. The firing came from every direction.
Q. At what distance were guards placed from the round-house?
A. It was probably as far as from here to Eighth street—probably two hundred yards.
Q. Did they remain out all night that distance?
A. Yes.
Q. Were any of them wounded there?
