Question. Were there any wagons on the country road?

Answer. There were.

Question. What distance were the wagons stretched along the road, if they were stretched?

Answer. I should think between 3 and 4 miles from the place where I first struck the wagons until we had got past the main body of the wagons. There were some scattered farther along.

Question. Were the wagons there when you left the railroad and went on toward Bristoe?

Answer. I found the wagons on my way between Warrenton Junction and Bristoe.

Question. What was the character of the night; was it light or dark?
