officers who were at headquarters after
guard mounting were able to affirm that
the colonel had been courteous as usual
in his greeting to the medical officer, and
that nothing whatever had been said
about his being away so late the preyi-
GUS evening. Capt. Stryker came home
soon after midnight, had brief talk
with his colonel. and went over to the
stables to inquire into Gwynne's condi-
ton before he went to bed. Parke came
into Perry's room after morning stables,
and told him, as he was yawning and
stretching in bed, that the captain had
had quite u long talk with Gwynne that
morning, and that something was up"
he didn't know what. Later in the
day Perry was sent for by Col. Brainard
and found the commanding officer in
consultation with Capt. Stryker and two
other troop commanders
At their request he repeated the story
