A. There was but one. There may have been one or two in the box; but one was patrolling the beat.
Q. Didn't the sergeant there point out to you and General Brinton the gate to Major Buffington's quarters?
A. No. There may have been somebody who pointed out the house, but nobody went for him.
Q. No one went on with you to the house?
A. No. He may have pointed it out to General Brinton, in response to a question. I don't recollect that he did or didn't.
Q. Did the major come out of the house there, and stand on the steps?
A. He came out of the house—out of the entry way—on to the steps.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Did Major Buffington give any reason for refusing admission into the arsenal grounds?
A. I don't think he said anything, except that there was a large amount of property there, or something.
