Question. Was this movement of General Breckinridge's division to ward Kentucky going on while Bragg's army was in that State?

Yes, sir.

Question. Did General Breckinridge tell you what the strength of his division was? If so, please state what he told you about it.

General Breckinridge told me it was about 8,000 or 10,000.

Question. Have you reason to doubt the truth of the information given you by General Breckinridge both in regard to the destination of his division and the strength of it?

I have not.

Question. Do you know anything of the character of the country across from Somerset to East Tennessee in the direction of Knoxville?

Yes, sir; I know some little of it.

Question. Do you know the road that leaves the Cumberland River just above the mouth of the South Fork and goes through Jacksborough, thence on to Knoxville?

I do.

Question. Have you traveled that road?

Yes, sir.

Question. What is the character of it?

It is a pretty bad road.

Question. How does it compare with the Cumberland Gap road?

It is a worse road, I think.

Question. Is it a road that is much traveled?

No, sir; I think not.

Question. Is it used for wagons?

Not a great deal, I think.

Question. State as particularly as you can the general character of the country, its population, and agricultural resources, especially between the Cumberland River and Jacksborough.

I could not say exactly; there is not much of that country that is very productive.

Question. Is it a level country or is it a mountainous country, abounding in difficult passes and defiles?

It is mountainous country.

Question. How do you get on to that road, starting from Somerset?

I could not state exactly. I never paid a great deal of attention to the country or the roads.

Question. From the information you received did you understand distinctly that General Breckinridge's division was not in Kentucky during the occupation or invasion of that State last summer by the rebel forces?

Yes, sir; I understood so from himself.

Cross-examination by the JUDGE-ADVOCATE:

Question. What were you doing in Knoxville at that time?

I left the State about the time Generals Smith's and Bragg's armies were leaving Kentucky, a little in advance of them sometimes.
