A. Oh! yes; I was right with them. I suppose they would if they could. A man says to me, what I got business to do with the Philadelphia troops, keeping conversation with them. I told him that is my business.
Q. What business you had with them?
A. Yes. I said that is my business.
Q. They didn't pretend to interfere with you—did they?
A. I suppose they would, if they could. I don't know, I wasn't afraid.
By Mr. Lindsey:
Q. Was it known to the crowd that these Black Hussars were quartered in your house? Did the crowd know that the Black Hussars were in your house?
A. No; not that Sunday. They found it out on Monday, though. The people came in the house keeping very nice, quiet conversation with them. I never heard a wrong word on Wednesday. The house was crowded, and they were sitting around with them, drinking beer. It was all right; very nice, quiet conversation.
Q. The Black Hussars did?
A. Our Pittsburgh friends treated them very kind.
