A. On arrival we had twenty-seven officers and one hundred and seventy-eight men on Twenty-eighth street.
Q. How long were you on duty there before the arrival of General Brinton and his troops.
A. I think when we got there it was between four and five o'clock, and stayed there until Brinton came. It was, I think, perhaps two or three o'clock; I think somewheres near that time.
Q. Was anything said or done by Colonel Gray about clearing the track before the arrival of General Brinton?
A. Yes. In the morning when we first got there there was a little excitement—it didn't amount to really very much, but by ten or eleven or twelve o'clock, one, &c., it got on worse all the time; that is, there was a great many more men got there, and Colonel Gray sent me down—I think it was between two and three o'clock—to give Colonel Hartley Howard his compliments, and said, if they would cooperate with them he would clean that track. Colonel Howard acknowledged the compliments, and said he didn't think it was proper to do that.
Q. What regiment did Colonel Gray command?
A. The Nineteenth.
Q. Where was he stationed then?
A. He was laying just about this gate Mr. Fife spoke about here a little while ago.
Q. Where abouts was the Fourteenth regiment then?
