James M. McGeath a citizen of Charleston, Ills. aged 54 years after being first duly sworn on his oath says, that he is acquainted with Madison Hank and has been for several years.

I saw Hank about half an hour before the riot took place on Monday, March 28th, 1864 in a wagon with John Syler, and saw the wagon they were in start off East, and I turned and went into the Grocery of Hersey & Taylor.
