Heintzelman's corps had followed, and occupied a position in the rear near the river. Casey's division occupied an advance position, and Couch the second line.

They will soon find out if there was such a missionary, and if he was up there at the time, and if Mr. Grant was up there; and if you are caught out in a lie it may go hard with you. Have you any witnesses?" "Martin Doyle was there, Black Martin's son." "What! Martin Doyle that's out at the nine-mile?" "Yis. He was up driving the buggy and horses for Grant.
