Answer. Yes, sir. Question. What did you see there? Answer. I saw them shoot two white men right by the side of me after they had laid their guns down. They shot a black man clear over into the river. Then they hallooed to me to come up the hill, and I came up. They said, "Give me your money, you damned nigger." I told them I did not have any. "Give me your money, or I will blow your brains out." Then they told me to lie down, and I laid down, and they stripped everything off me. Question. This was the day of the fight? Answer. Yes, sir. Question. Go on. Did they shoot you? Answer. Yes, sir. After they stripped me and took my money away from me they dragged me up the hill a little piece, and laid me down flat on my stomach; I laid there till night, and they took me down to an old house, and said they would kill me the next morning. I got up and commenced crawling down the hill; I could not walk. Question. When were you shot? Answer. About 3 o'clock. Question. Before they stripped you? Answer. Yes, sir. They shot me before they said, "come up." Question. After you had surrendered? Answer. Yes, sir; they shot pretty nearly all of them after they surrendered. Question. Did you see anything of the burning of the men? Answer. No, sir. Question. Did you see them bury anybody? Answer. Yes, sir. Question. Did they bury anybody who was not dead? Answer. I saw one of them working his hand after he was buried; he was a black man. They had about a hundred in there, black and white. The major was buried on the bank, right side of me. They took his clothes all off but his drawers; I was lying right there looking at them. They had my captain's coat, too; they did not kill my captain; a lieutenant told him to give him his coat, and then they told him to go down and pick up those old rags and put them on. Question. Did you see anybody shot the day after the battle? Answer. No, sir. Question. How did you get away? Answer. A few men came up from Memphis, and got a piece of plank and put me on it, and took me down to the boat. Question. Were any rebel officers around when the rebels were killing our men? Answer. Yes, sir; lots of them. Question. Did they try to keep their men from killing our men? Answer. I never heard them say so. I know General Forrest rode his horse over me three or four times. I did not know him until I heard his men call his name. He said to some negro men there that he knew them; that they had been in his nigger yard in Memphis. He said he was not worth five dollars when he started, and had got rich trading in negroes. Question. Where were you from? Answer. I came from South Carolina. Question. Have you been a slave? Answer.
