As Lawrence marched into the courtroom between two soldiers, guarding him, his wife, dressed in black, as always, and with Mrs.McGillicuddy sitting near her, rose from her seat and took another one as close to her husband as she could get and smiled encouragement at him.

Lawrence, watching her tender gaze, burst into tears.
It was all done very quickly.

Sergeant McGillicuddy was one of the two witnesses, Broussard being the other.

The Sergeant testified as if he were the criminal and not Lawrence.

Broussard was the second witness and merely told of Lawrence coming to him in San Francisco, saying he wished to get to Fort Blizzard and give himself up.
