By Mr. Means:
Q. General Pearson appeared to stand at the head of the column?
A. He stood in the rear of the two companies that were charging up the track between the two lines and the side of the track.
Q. It appears from your testimony that the firing was sometime after the command to fire was given.
A. Yes; it was sometime. I had time enough to get away.
Q. Do you think that this firing was in consequence of the order to fire?
A. I did not wait to see anything about that. As soon as I heard the word "fire," I thought that was enough for me.
Q. Have you ever had any military experience in the army?
A. No, sir; never in the army. I served two or three years in the militia.
Q. Ever practiced firing any in the militia?
