Confederates Wanted

BY GENERAL WARREN TO TELL THE COURT OF
INQUIRY THE STORY OF THE FIVE FORKS
BATTLE.
New YORK, May 23.-The Warrea Court
OF Inquiry net Yesterday at Governor s
Island after an adjournment OF two days
during the visit TO New York OF the Secre-
tary of War. General X. NJ. Brintop, OF
Philadelphia, Was recalled and cross.eXam-
ned by Major Gardner relative to his stale
ment that General Sheridan placed General
Griffin in command of the Fifth corps a
short while after Ayres had carried the key
to the enemy's position, and not later In the
day, as General Sheridan himself has de.
clared.
Major Langdon stated that General War
rem desired to summon as witnesses the fol-
lowing officers OF the Confederate army {:
Generals FitZhugh Lee, w. Fl. +. Lee.
Thomas j. MunfOrd, NJ. ID. Corse, Eppa
Huntop, Samuel McGowan, Matthew Ran
som, r. L. Il. Beale, w. II. Wallace, and
Colonels j. Mayo and w. W. Wood, and
several others.
Msjor Gardner said he hoped that no ex-
rebel officers would he summoned to testify
in the little family trouble Of Federal otf-
GERS; he did not think it appropriate. Gen.
| eral Hancock said the Court would like to
know what it was intended to prove by such
witnesses. and Mr.. Stickney explained that
1t was necessary for General Warren to es-
tabli>h the strength OF tae enemy's forces at
various points, ard this could be done only
by the officers in command.
After consultation, General Hancock
said that TIE Court was disposed to permit
the summoning OF witnesses from The other
side. provided they had any essential testi-
mony to give, and provided their number
was reduced to as few as possible. Finally,
summonses were issued for Munford, Corse,
Msyo, and Wood.
