Mr. Butler then asked if Gen. Thomas had

versation with Mr.. Burlegh about breaking
down the doors of the War Department.
Objected to by Mr. Evarts, as were also sew
eral notifications of the question, which was
finally put as follows:
Have you had any conversation since the
first one and since his appointment Of Secre-
tary of War od interim wherein he has said
anything about using force in getting into the
War Office, or in any way reasserting his
former conversation, and if so what he said?
Witness replied that he had asked General
Thomas last week why the performance prom
Used had not come off. He answered it was
because he was arrested by the Marshal early
in the morning, otherwise he would have bro
ken in the doors, &c.
| On the crOss-examinatlon by Mr.. Stanbery,
witness said he went to the Department on
| business with The Adjutant General. General
Thomas made the same address to each of four
or five clerks as they came into the Office, that
he would not hold them to strict accountable
ity about coming to work precisely at o'clock
| but that on resuming his position as Adjutant
General he was disposed to relax somewhat
the severe rules made by his predecessor; he
! should of course expect faithful performance
of their duties. He spoke only to employees
of his own Department.
Samuel Wilkinson was then called. lie

seven years; had conversation with MN OF
