DISCRIMINATION.
Inc cross'examnation was conducted by the counsel
for Major Wyse but in accordance with the rules the
court the questions asked by the Judge Advocate
The following is the testimony elected
Question-ln answer to my question in your office,
when conyersing with you socially, the 9Th April,
1864, If would be in command Of the four compa-
mics, did you not say You thought would but did not
know exactly the state of Col Bnrkes health and ask

Major Wyse that he would be that senior officer YOU well
knew that Col. Burke then
