Q. They didn't lay down their arms, and obeyed orders afterwards?
A. No; they didn't lay down their arms, and I think that, notwithstanding their disposition to do an unmilitary act, if they had been called into line and directed to do their duty as soldiers at that time, they would have done so cheerfully.
Q. Did they remain with your command during the rest of your military movements?
A. Yes.
Q. And went to Scranton with you?
A. Yes.
Q. Did they observe their duty as soldiers after that?
A. As far as I saw, entirely so.
Q. You say you didn't ascertain their reasons for wanting to lay down their arms?
A. Not especially so. It was a sort of a growl they got into.
