Q. It was the bystanders? Those officers had nothing to do with those companies?
A. No, sir; not with those two companies up the track—no, sir.
Q. Did the companies commanded by the officers who gave the command, fire?
A. I didn't wait to see.
Q. You don't know that they did fire?
A. Not from my own knowledge, but from the parties wounded and killed, I would suppose so.
By Mr. Larrabee:
Q. How long after the command was given did you hear the firing?
A. I got back of this house before I heard any firing.
Q. What distance was you from the crowd, where you stood, when the command was given, when the firing began?
