A. I did not know what was the matter.
Q. Did it not look to you like it?
A. Yes; it did look to me very strange for them to receive a written order.
Q. You, as a military man, of course, felt aggrieved at that?
A. No, sir. I said that they could obey the order cheerfully, and I marched down to the depot with them.
Q. You did not consider that under your order?
A. Things were mixed up so I did not know.
Q. Which way which?
A. Which way which, and I obeyed the order. Afterwards I received this order.
