_Brown._ Well, probably I had quite a different idea. I do not know that I ought to reveal my plans. I am here a prisoner and wounded, because I foolishly allowed myself to be so. You overrate your strength in supposing I could have been taken if I had not allowed it. I was too tardy after commencing the open attack--in delaying my movements through Monday night, and up to the time I was attacked by the Government troops. It was all occasioned by my desire to spare the feelings of my prisoners and their families and the community at large. I had no knowledge of the shooting of the negro Heywood. * * * * * _Dr. Biggs._ Were you in the party at Dr. Kennedy's house? _Brown._ I was at the head of that party. I occupied the house to mature my plans. I have not been in Baltimore to purchase caps. * * * * * _Q._ Where did you get arms? _A._ I bought them. _Q._ In what State? _A._ That I will not state. _Q._ How many guns? _A._ Two hundred Sharpe's rifles and two hundred revolvers,--what is called the Massachusetts Arms Company's revolvers, a little under navy size. _Q._ Why did you not take that swivel you left in the house? _A._ I had no occasion for it. It was given to me a year or two ago. _Q._ In Kansas? _A._ No. I had nothing given to me in Kansas. _Q._ By whom, and in what State? _A._ I decline to answer; it is not properly a swivel; it is a very large rifle with a pivot. The ball is larger than a musket ball; it is intended for a slug. _Reporter._ I do not wish to annoy you; but if you have anything further you would like to say, I will report it.
