A. I am an attorney-at-law.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. Was Captain Breck in the round-house during the night you were there?
A. Yes.
Q. Did he remain there until you left?
A. Yes; he remained there, and seemed to desire to do his duty, as did his command. He only had a squad, however.
Q. Where did he go with his command after you left the round-house?
A. Nowhere; his men scattered in the city. We could not take his guns, and I suppose he didn't think he was obliged to go with us.
Q. Do you know how many men he had?
A. About a dozen or fifteen at the outside. Then there was a Captain Murphy who offered to show us the way to the arsenal. I only saw one man with him in uniform. He did his duty as well as he could, and piloted us out there. We were strangers in the city, and didn't know where to go, except that we had orders to go out Penn avenue, and did not know where it was. At Sharpsburg we met Major Norris, and went on towards the poor-house.
