m down. As soon as ever they recognized
them, wherever it was, they shot them.

Q. After they had taken them prisoners?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Did you know any thing about their shooting men in the
hospitals?

A. I know of their shooting negroes in there. I don't know about
white men.

Q. Wounded negro men?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Who did that?

A. Some of their troops. I don't know which of them. The next
morning I saw several black people shot that were wounded, and
some that were not wounded. One was going down the hill before
me, and the officer made him come back up the hill; and after I
got in the boat I heard them shooting them.

Q. You say you saw them shoot negroes in the hospital the next
morning?

A. Yes, sir; wounded negroes who could not get along; one with
his leg broke. They came there the next day and shot him.

surrendered?

A. I heard guns away after dark shooting all that evening,
somewhere; they kept up a regular fire for a long time, and then
I heard the guns once in a while.

Q. Did you see any one shot the next day?

A. I did not; I was in a house, and could not get up at all.

Q. Do you know what became of the Quartermaster of your regiment,
Lieutenant Akerstrom?

A. He was shot by the side of me.

Q. Was he killed?

A. I thought so at the time; he fell on his face. He was shot in
the forehead, and I thought he was killed. I heard afterward he
was not.

Q. Did you notice any thing that took place while the flag of

A. I saw the rebels slipping up and g
