A. To General Pearson's.
Q. Couldn't you have saved those guns, and taken them with you?
A. If we had any way of getting them out, and if we had horses to haul them.
Q. It was not possible to take them out where they were, and take them along by hand?
A. It might have been done, but under the circumstances, no. If there had not been any firing there, we might have cleared the track, and got the gate open.
Q. Couldn't you have taken those guns out of the same gate you took the Gatling guns out?
A. No; it would have taken a long while, because the shop was full of timber and all kinds of material, which would have had to be cleared out of the way, and it is not much of a joke to run a twelve pounder by hand. We might have taken a crowd and have dragged them a short distance, but not a long distance. It was as much as the men could do to drag the Gatlings.
Q. No horses were provided for those guns?
A. Not that I saw.
Q. Did Captain Breck have charge of those pieces?
