Q. Did you expect Col. Roosevelt at Charleston?
A. No, I didn't.
Q. What was your purpose in going to Charleston?
A. Well, my original intention was to go to New Orleans, and reading the papers I found that he was changing his way of traveling and so this that before the steamship comes to New Orleans why I wouldn't be following him there any more—he would be gone, so I thought I would take Charleston and then get to Atlanta, perhaps I can meet him at Atlanta.
Q. Where did you stay there?
A. At a boarding house by the name of Mosley House.
