The evi­ dence presented to prove his death Is as follows S Johiidf. Tutila testifies that Danger- field was carried e(! the Held at Fal^R Oaks, Virginia, on the 37th of October* 18C4, by a squad of men under his charge as sergeant, dangerously wound­ ed IU the shoulder and arm , and that on or about the 5th of May, 1865, his death was announced to the regiment by t h e ad ju tan t a s h a v i n g occur red a t the Point qf Rocks hospital. lie states circumstances wiiioh lead him to tlx the date of hU dea tli at about May 1 18«3. Daniel Turner testifies that he was at the .hospital at Point of Rocks for some time about the 1st of May. 186S; that ho knew Beverly Dangerfleld, who was at the hospital suffering from a wound; that about the 1st of May. 180.%, lie was Informed that Dangerfleld had died, and that he saw a body carried to the dead house, which, he was in*' formed, was the body of Dangerfleld. Harry Turner , who was chaplain of the First Regiment, U. S. C. T„ test! Aes that he well remembers that Bev erly Dangerfleld was seriously wounded at the Battle of Pair Oaks, Virginia, about the 27tli or SStit of October, 1864; that he was sent to hospital at Point of Jtocks, and that, about tlie last! of April or the first of Mar, 1863, a report DF ills death caine to the regiment about the last of April, 1865. The testimony of Henry Thomas, who was a private, Co. K, First U. S. C. T., is to the same efleet as that of Charles W. Goodrich.
