A. Not that night. No, sir; because I had four companies who had to go home by railroad.
Q. Were any of the companies brought down here and disbanded?
A. That night?
Q. Yes, sir?
A. No, sir. I directed my staff officers to notify the commanding officers of companies that their services were not needed, and to take their men to the armories and dismiss them.
By Senator Yutzy:
Q. What the captain wishes to get at is, did your men break ranks there at the Union depot?
A. I had a company in the next day at ten o'clock.
Q. They marched out by companies?
A. Yes, sir.
