Company E, 13th Tennessee cavalry. Question. Under what officers did you serve? Answer. I was under Major Bradford and Captain Potter. Question. Were you in the fight at Fort Pillow? Answer. Yes, sir. Question. State what you saw there of the fight, and what was done after the place was captured. Answer. We fought them for some six or eight hours in the fort, and when they charged our men scattered and ran under the hill; some turned back and surrendered, and were shot. After the flag of truce came in I went down to get some water. As I was coming back I turned sick, and laid down behind a log. The secesh charged, and after they came over I saw one go a good ways ahead of the others. One of our men made to him and threw down his arms. The bullets were flying so thick there I thought I could not live there, so I threw down my arms and surrendered. He did not shoot me then, but as I turned around he or some other one shot me in the back. Question. Did they say anything while they were shooting? Answer. All I heard was, "Shoot him, shoot him!" "Yonder goes one!" "Kill him, kill him!" That is about all I heard. Question. How many do you suppose you saw shot after they surrendered? Answer. I did not see but two or three shot around me. One of the boys of our company, named Taylor, ran up there, and I saw him shot and fall. Then another was shot just before me, like--shot down after he threw down his arms. Question. Those were white men? Answer. Yes, sir. I saw them make lots of niggers stand up, and then they shot them down like hogs. The next morning I was lying around there waiting for the boat to come up. The secesh would be prying around there, and would come to a nigger and say, "You ain't dead, are you?" They would not say anything, and then the secesh would get down off their horses, prick them in their sides, and say, "Damn you, you ain't dead; get up." Then they would make them get up on their knees, when they would shoot them down like hogs. Question. Do you know of their burning any buildings? Answer. I could hear them tell them to stick torches all around, and they fired all the buildings. Question. Do you know whether any of our men were in the buildings when they were burned? Answer. Some of our men said some were burned; I did not see it, or know it to be so myself.
