Q. To whom?
A. As I told you, I was not acquainted with the officers to whom he addressed himself. He was speaking to parties in gray uniform. He was standing almost immediately in his rear.
Q. He said, "Your men to fire?"
A. Yes, sir.
Q. How far were you from him?
A. I suppose I would be—I could hardly judge the distance—I would take it to be about ten feet or so.
Q. Did he speak it in a low tone?
A. It was not very loud. It was not a low tone.
Q. Was there a good deal of noise and confusion about at that time?
A. Oh, considerable, just in certain localities.
