A. Scattering.
Q. From what point were the stones thrown?
A. They appeared to come from the hill side—in the vicinity of the watch-box, near the crossing.
Q. What was the effect of the firing of the stones among the militia—was there any damage done to life or limb?
A. I noticed a sergeant of one of the Philadelphia companies with a bad cut on the face. He came back with his face shattered. The thing came very quick.

Q. Did you hear any command to cease firing?
A. I did not. I went to the rear of the cars I was standing on, and the soldiers were breaking back in my direction, and I did not notice what was going on in front after that. There was just one volley. The soldiers just emptied their muskets.
