sixty days furIough-this was on the porch at
headquarters-n one was present but Maj. Gee
aud the guard-don't know the guards name, but
he belonged to the 6Sth North Carolina
regiment boy made no ssply that heard
I recelleet nothing that Maj. Gee said to the boy
before these words-I put these words down In
my memorandum book-can't tell the day 1t was
on-Maj. Gee told the boy this in the afternoon
about o. clock--the shooting was in the fore
noon suppose Maj, Gee was not more than nj
teen feet from me when he told the boy he should
have sixty days furlough-l saw MAJ. Gee when
he said this to the boy-and this was all the con-
yersation heard L will not swear that MAJ Gee
gave the boy the furlough for shooting Lieut. Da-'
yis--I don't know what he gave him the fnrlough
for unless it was for shooting him; don't know
that he gave it to him, only heard the promise
ofit--I can't swear he promised him the furlough
because he shot Lieut. Davis, but he promised it
to him and said he had done well--lnever saw the
boy about the prison afterwards; II left myselfina

@. Have you not been ARRESTED by the Provost
Marshal since you have been in attendance as
witness in this case, for passing counterfeit
money?
Ans. No sir. have not refunded good money
under the direction of the Provost Marshal, for
counterfeit money, passed on Mr.. Joyner, since
have been in attendance on this trial. l have
never boosted of having passed counterfeit money
On Mr. Joyner; don't know him, and have not
seen him since have been in the State-I have
never had any matter with Capt. White, Provost
Marshal, nor with Mr.. Joyner, about counterfeit
money.
[Col. Wilder, for the defense, stated that the
reason for asking the witness these questions was
that the counsel had been informed that one of
the witnesses in this case had been accused of
passing counterfeit money at Franklinton, on
Mr. Joyner and arrested for it ; and they had
oeen induced to believe that this was the man
but that he now believed it was another wit

1t was not more than thirty seconds after
,eard the gun fired, before went on the parapet
and saw the body of Lieut.. Davis. a
@. Are you sure that Maj. Gee alluded to the
,hooting of Lieut.. Davis when he said to the boy
ie had done well?
Ans. That was what he alluded to, to the best
ofmy knowledge; he did not call Lieut.. Davis
name, nor any name, but there was no other man
killed that day. cannot swear he alluded to the
killing when he promised him the furlough-he
merely said he had done well, and should have
iurlough.
All that 1 know about what Maj. Gee said about
the prisoners having meat he said to old Charlie,
as we called hiin,1 Commissary of the cook
house, that the rebels should have meat if the
Yankees had to go without-whatI understood
him to mean by "rebels " was the conyicts that
