LIEUTENANT DE RuDIo's TESTIMONY.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD

BISMARCK, d. T., Jan. 10. 1879.
Lieutenant c. G. De Rudio. the noted Italian officer
Of the Seventh cavalry left to-day for Chicago to at
tend rs witness in the Reno inquiry. In inter
view here De Rudio expressed the opinion that Reno
made fatal mistake when he reiterated from the
wood. Just few minutes before Reno stampeded
De Rudio saw General Custer look down
on him and then disappear behind the bluffs
for the lower village. He says Custer must
have calculated that Reno would maintain his posi-
ton, and resting under the supposition, made the
final charge Reno. however. fed before Custer got
into his fight and gave the Indians around him the
opportunity to fall on Custer mosse. De Rudio's
bitter hostility to Custer Ia well known and hence
the significance OF his evidence. Reno's position in
the wood DE Rudio considered npregnable and
nothing but fear could have prompted his retreat.
which resulted in many killed and wounded. more
than were lost the bluffs during the whole fight.
