By the JUDGE-ADVOCATE:

Question. What became of Captain Wood, who escaped with 13 men, 9 of whom returned to Harper's Ferry and surrendered themselves?

Answer. He went off with General Tyler, I suppose. I had him arrested upon the report that was made to me, and told him to go to General Tyler. I never saw him afterward.

Question. Disregarded his arrest?

Answer. Yes, sir; at least, I suppose so. I never heard any more of him.
