Question. What did you make their number to be?

If my recollection serves me aright, one numbered 360, the other 250.

Question. Did you see any other regiments besides those two you counted?

Yes, sir; I saw a number.

Question. How did they compare with the two you counted?

The reason why I counted the two regiments was I saw on their colors the word "Shiloh." They were marching near where I was boarding, and I supposed they had been in the battle there, and I counted them to see how they numbered. I know that the two regiments I counted were from Arkansas, but I cannot say I noticed how many the other regiments numbered.

Question. Did you notice the other regiments close enough to say as to how they compared in size?

I could not say, sir.

Cross-examination by General BUELL:

Question. You counted the number of men in these two regiments while they were on the march, did you, Mr. Craddock?

Yes, sir.

Question. Did you suppose, from the fact of their having been in battle, that they had sustained heavy losses, and that therefore you would expect to find the ranks very greatly reduced?

I did.

Question. Did the strength of these regiments as you found them realize the expectations you had formed with reference to their diminished strength?

Their colors seemed to be very much shattered and torn with bullets, and I just supposed from that they had lost severely.

The Commission adjourned to meet January 15, 1863, at 11 o'clock, a.m.

LOUISVILLE, January 15, 1863.

Commission met pursuant to adjournment. All the members present; also the judge-advocate and General Buell.

W. B. CRADDOCK'S testimony continued, as follows:

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE. After the close of yesterday's session I discovered a fact within the knowledge of Mr. Craddock, the second witness examined, that seemed of importance to the investigation, and as he is sheriff of the county in which he resides and was anxious to return, I wrote down the question and his answer last night, and if there is no objection I propose to add them to his previous testimony:

Question. State, if you please, whether Breckinridge and his forces were at Munfordville while Bragg was there.

I heard Bragg say on Thursday night, after he came in on Wednesday, that he had received a dispatch from Breckinridge, in which Breckinridge said he hoped there was no misunderstanding. General Bragg added that Breckinridge was entering West Tennessee when he should have been at Glasgow.

(Admission of the testimony objected to by General Ord.)

General BUELL. The evidence is palpably false in its peculiar features. We know that Breckinridge did not enter West Tennessee. That is a matter of certainty. I have no objection to the evidence appearing
