A. My impression is that Captain Murphy took us there. It may have been that some person just at the door, or the sentry at the gate, may have said so.
Q. You accompanied General Brinton to the house?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you meet him before calling at the door or ringing the bell?
A. We met him right at the porch. I think there was a lady standing there, and the question was asked if Major Buffington was in, and at that moment he came out. I know that nobody went for him.
Q. You turned then and——
A. Went to the gate as rapidly as possible.
Q. Did Major Buffington come up to the gate before you left?
A. No.
Q. Did you see anything more of him?
