_A._ He stood aft with the rest of us, and assisted in working the vessel. (The prisoner, Del Carno, was directed to stand up, and witness identified him as being the steward. He also identified Henry Oman as attending to the cooking department. The prisoner was directed to stand up, and was identified by the witness.) _Q._ In what capacity was he? _A._ The same as the rest--a seaman. (Witness also identified William Charles Clarke, Richard Palmer, and John Murphy, as seamen, and Alexander C. Coid, as seaman. Martin Galvin, the prisoner, was directed to stand up, and was identified by the witness.) _Q._ Was he a seaman? _A._ I do not think he was either seaman or officer. _Q._ What did he do on board? _A._ Little of anything. There was very little done any way. _Q._ Did he take part in working the vessel? _A._ Very little, if anything at all. I believe he took part in weighing anchor. _Q._ You identify Captain Baker as captain of the vessel? _A._ Yes, I could not well avoid that. _Q._ How many more were there besides those you have identified? _A._ Some six. I think about eighteen all told, not including Knickerbocker and myself. _Q._ How many went off on the Joseph? _A._ There were six of them. _Q._ Did any of those that are now here go off on the Joseph? _A._ No, I believe not. I know all here. We have been long enough in shackles together to know one another. _Q._ Do you remember the names of those that went on the Joseph? _A._ I know two of them--one named Hayes, and Evans, the Charleston pilot. _Q._ The same Evans who went on board with you? _A._ Yes, sir; he was a Charleston pilot. _Q._ What did Hayes and Evans do on board? _A._ They did the same as the rest--all that was to be done. _Q._ Were either of them officers? _A._ Mr. Evans was the Charleston pilot. He gave the orders when to raise anchor and go out. He acted as mate and pilot when he was there. I presume he had as much authority, and a little more, than any one else; he was pilot. _Q._ What did Hayes do? _A._ He was an old, experienced man--did the same as the rest--lived aft with the rest. He was a seaman. _Q._ The other four, whose names you do not recollect, did they act as seamen? _A._ Exactly, sir. _Q._ Any of them as officers? _A._ No, sir; if they were, they were not inaugurated in any position while I was there. _Q._ What did you do? _A._ I did as I was told by the captain's orders--steered and made sail. _Q._ What time did you get off from the bar in Charleston? _A._ We got off Sunday afternoon and made sail east, outside of the bar, and proceeded to sea. _Q._ Do you remember any conversation on board when any of the prisoners were present? _A._ Yes; we talked as a party of men would talk on an expedition of that kind. _Q._ What was said about the expedition? _A._ That we were going out privateering. The object was to follow some vessels, and that was the talk among ourselves. _Q._ Did anything happen that night, particularly?
