Wm F Lilly (white)  I live in the neighborhood with Lieut Leidtke and have done work for him, and have seen him frequently since he has been on duty here.  I have never seen him intoxicated during this time, nor even heard that he had been intoxicated.  I live and have lived within gun shot of his house and never heard of his shooting at any one, nor I never heard of his trying to have intercourse with a colored woman, nor I never heard that he had abused his wife.

Freedmen, Lemuel Maybee, James Brown, Randolph Grier, Moses Donaldsen and others, from St Stephens the further portion of Lieut Leidtke's District testify that they have often seen Lt. Leidtke, and have never seen him under the influence of liquor, have frequently had business with him, and consider him a just man, and that they never heard that he tried to do what he ought not, with a colored woman.
