Q. What do you mean by the entire command?
A. The head commenced firing, and then it run back on the wings. It was an irregular roll of musketry. I got off the car, and fell back after the firing ceased. My position was somewhat exposed.
Q. Did you hear any command to fire?
A. I do not think there was any command given.
Q. You were in a position to hear it?
A. Yes.
