Q. Was any attack made upon you in the shops during the night?
A. No; not directly.
Q. State what the discipline of the troops was—taking the whole command of General Brinton during the night?
A. There was no complaint—it was as good as might be expected.
Q. Was there any insubordination or refusal to obey orders that came under your observation?
A. Yes; some.
Q. Relate it?
A. When the companies of the Sixth regiment were formed into line, the company next to mine—I sent one of my sergeants to find out the matter, and he came back and told me that they proposed to lay down their arms and go home, and I said I would like to see them try it, and I intend to shoot them if they attempt to do it.
Q. Did you see them afterwards or talk to them about it afterwards?
A. I intended to hunt the officers up; but while making up my mind to proceed in the matter, orders came to get ready to move, and that broke the little arrangement up.
