Q. Define fully the position of the battery—was it on the railroad track?
A. The battery was right at the railroad track, on a space probably as wide as this room.
Q. At the side of the track?
A. Yes; and pointing down toward the depot—towards the other depot.
Q. How many pieces?
A. Two pieces. I placed two companies on the crossing at Twenty-eighth street there, and kept them there for an hour at a time, I believe, to keep the track clear—to keep everything in order.
Q. You had one company to relieve the other?
A. Two companies to relieve each other from each regiment—two companies from each regiment.
