On the 26th he ordered Heintzelman The Stone Bridge, Bull Run, from the North bank. From a sketch made in 1884. to send a regiment from Warrenton to Manassas, to repair the wires and protect the railroad. Aroused, however, on the evening of the 27th, to some appreciation of the condition of affairs, he sent one division (Hookers) of Heintzelman's corps to Bristoe, which attacked the brigades of Lawton, Early, and Forno (Hays's) of Ewell's division, who successively retired, as they had been directed to do, with little loss, upon the main body at Manassas Junction.

His position was thus in itself one of great responsibility; but there were extrinsic elements whiell as the past was committed to their trust. For instance, the very first witness examined before them was General I. B. Richardson, and the second was General S. P. Heintzelman, and both were examined on the same day, December 24.
