Sergeant Moore, in his testimony before the
coroners jury, aud in an affidavit filed in tho
investigation made by the officers, stated that
he intended to clean the guns on the same
evening of the nriug but the commanding Of

so during tho drill hour the next morning;
that he directed Artihccr Joseph Bonn to turn
the crank oil the gun in order to make sure
that no cartridges were unexplOded; that on
Saturday morning at drill call, after forming
the battery, he turned It over to Sergeant
John A. Mason aud directed him to have the

tions OF the commanding officer.
