A. You could not for the fog tell what he was firing at.

Q. Do you know if any firing was done without orders?

A. To the best of my knowledge there was not a shot fired without orders.

Q. To the best of your knowledge. Of course Major Mitchell would know probably better than you know.

A. No, he would not because I was around more than he was that night.

Q. When the firing took place, you dont know how it was fired or the exact order.

A. I got there just as the order cease fire was given. I could not be farther than the width of this room away.

Q. When he gave the order cease fire - you could see the men firing?

A. Yes. There is no collective firing at all, they are not taught to fire collectively.

Q. I understant that, in actual warfare. In a thing of that description the moral effect, might do just as well?
