Question. Did any of those you have mentioned escape from Fort Pillow? Answer. There were eight or nine men, I forget the number, who did escape and come here, the others were paroled. I learned the following facts about that: The day after the battle a gunboat was coming up and commenced shelling the place; the rebels sent a flag of truce for the purpose of giving over into our hands what wounded remained alive; a transport then landed and sent out details to look about the grounds and pick up the wounded there, and bring them on the boat. They had no previous attention. Question. They were then brought under your charge? Answer. They were brought immediately to this hospital. Question. Who commanded that boat? Answer. I forget the naval officer's name. Question. How long after the capture of the place did he come along? Answer. That was the next day after the capture. Question. Did all who were paroled in this way come under your charge, or did any of them go to other hospitals? Answer. None went to other hospitals that I am aware of. Question. Please state their condition. Answer. They were the worst butchered men I have ever seen. I have been in several hard battles, but I have never seen men so mangled as they were; and nearly all of them concur in stating that they received all their wounds after they had thrown down their arms, surrendered, and asked for quarters. They state that they ran out of the fort, threw down their arms, and ran down the bank to the edge of the river, and were pursued to the top of the bank and fired on from above. Question. Were there any females there? Answer. I have one wounded woman from there. Question. Were there any children or young persons there? Answer. I have no wounded children or young persons from there. Question. Those you have received were mostly combatants, or had been? Answer. Yes, sir, soldiers, white or colored. Question. Were any of the wounded here in the hospital in the fort, and wounded while in the hospital? Answer. I so understand them. Question. How many in that condition did you understand? Answer. I learned from those who came here that nearly all who were in the hospital were killed. I received a young negro boy, probably sixteen years old, who was in the hospital there sick with fever, and unable to get away. The rebels entered the hospital, and with a sabre hacked his head, no doubt with the intention of splitting it open. The boy put up his hand to protect his head, and they cut off one or two of his fingers. He was brought here insensible, and died yesterday. I made a post-mortem examination, and found that the outer table of the skull was incised, the inner table was fractured, and a piece driven into the brain. Question. This was done while he was sick in the hospital? Answer. Yes, sir, unable to get off his bed. Question. Have you any means of knowing how many were murdered in that way? Answer. No positive means, except the statement of the men.
