Q. That is all he said?
A. That is all, sir; he gave command to charge bayonets first.
Q. Charge bayonets and then fire?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did the men that he ordered to charge bayonets, fire?
A. I could not see where the shots came from, they came from the gun
some place, that I know. We were standing right in front. When these
men fired, Johnny Long fell down. I helped to carry him in when the
doctor was examining him there. I took him into the round-house.
Q. Do you know Pearson?
A. I do, sir.
Q. Did you know him by sight?
A. I had known Pearson for ten years.
Q. How was he dressed?
A. That is more than I can tell you.
Q. You did not notice?
A. I was just looking at his face, same as I am looking at you. I did
not pay particular attention to his dress.
Q. You say you heard him give this command?
A. I did, sir.
Q. You are right certain of this?
A. I am positive.
