Question. What do you think was the amount of the force you saw at Henderson's, and did you know any of them?

Answer. I thought there were some twenty-five or thirty men at Henderson's. I knew none of the soldiers. I knew some of the citizens-civilians.

Answer. They were going up into town in the same direction as the other three.

Answer. Fischer's store is across the street from the northwest corner of court-house square. It is the corner house on the main cross street; two story frame building; stairs outside on the side of the building next to Main street. The drug store is across the street west, a little north of the center of the square, about fifty feet south of Fischer's.
