One from Tolomato, named Francisco, he heard him say he had seen Fray Pedro Corpa after he was killed--the rest he does not know. All this the said Gaspar Salas said and declared as interpreted under the oath which he has taken. He does not sign because he does not know how to write. GONZALO MENENDEZ CANSO. In the presence of JUAN XIMENES, Notary Public. For further investigation of the above, the Governor and Captain-General had appeared before him the other Indian, said to be named Francisco and native of Tolomato, and by the said interpreter under oath had him declare the following: Are you a Christian, and who are your parents? I am a Christian, my name is Francisco, my mother is nearly related to the Casique and my father is dead. What priest was teacher at Tolomato? Fray Pedro Corpa, and I knew him there for some time. What became of Fray Pedro Corpa? He was killed while sleeping, with wooden weapons, and he was killed by one of the chief Casiques of the Salcachecos. Did you see him killed, or were you present at his death? I was far away, but I heard it said that this Micos of Tolomato and Don Juan, his heir, had sent to have him killed. I went there, but he was already dead. Did the little dress which you wear belong to some religious of that peninsula? Yes, but I do not know to which one, I ransomed it from one of the Casiques. What was the cause of the killing of the priests? The cause was, that they reproved Don Juan, heir of Tolomato. By his cunning he had the other Casiques meet with him, and there was an uprising in the land, and these killings were done. Did you know Fray Miguel Annon, and Fray Antonio Lego in the conversion and teachings of Guale, and Father Berahula, and Fray Francisco de Avila? I knew them all--they had been killed by the Indians, except Fray Francisco de Avila, who was ransomed by the Governor. Tell and declare what manner of death they have given these religious? Fray Miguel and Fray Antonio Lego were killed with wooden weapons--he had so heard it said--the others he did not know. While in prison was Fray Francisco de Avila well treated? I have heard it said that he was badly treated by the Indians of Tolofino--they whipped him--the boys teased him. He ate badly, because the Indians had little food, and some times he was forced to eat vines and tendrils. Do you know where the ornaments of the Church are, and the other belongings of the priests? All the ornaments and clothes of the priests were divided among them all, and the Indians had carried them to their country inland. Do you know if any of the Indians with you here, were present at the killing of the priests? I have heard it said that the Indian Lucas, son of Don Felipe, was present when they killed Fray Blas--that about the others he does not know. All of which the said Gaspar Salas Atiqui says and declares according to his oath given, and because the Indian Francisco said so, and did not sign because he did not know how.
