This is far away from being persuasive evidence.  A soldier in another 
brigade "reported having heard"?  Why should we view this as being anything other 
than the usual vague rumor so common in chaotic situaions?  We know Wright 
attacked (and carried) some portion of the Union position, but I see nothing in 
this "report" that connects Wright's attack with anything north of the Copse.
