By the COURT:

Question. Did you keep any register of prisoners who were paroled?

Answer. Yes, sir. I think that in the letter-book are the names of all the prisoners, whether political or prisoners of war. Every once in a while we would clean out the guard-house and send them off to Baltimore; and with them were sent officers with a list of their names, where they belonged, and the charges against them.

Question. Is that letter-book with the papers we have sent for?

Answer. Yes, sir; I think it is with the papers, and there is a file of the paroles. Citizens he generally paroled with the understanding that they should report to him every ten days or six days.

By the JUDGE-ADVOCATE:

Question. You heard that statement which that lady gave yesterday in regard to the conversation between Colonel Miles and Colonel Ford?

Answer. Yes, sir; and I thought the stove-hole must be small, or I was, one of the two, for I certainly was in the room.

Question. Is your recollection of the conversation substantially different from her statement?

Answer. No, sir. My evidence is the same as hers exactly; the wording may be a little different, but it is the same in substance.

The Commission the n adjourned to 11 a. m. to-morrow.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 20, 1862.
