." One of their officers came
along and hallooed: "Forrest says no quarter! no quarter!" and
the next one hallooed: "Black flag! black flag!"

Q. What did they do then?

A. They kept on shooting. I could hear them down the hill.

Q. Did you see them bury any body?

A. Yes, sir; they carried me around right to the corner of the
Fort, and I saw them pitch men in there.

Q. Was there any alive?

A. I did not see them bury any body alive.

Q. How near to you was the man who shot you under the ear?

A. Right close to my head. When I was shot in the side, a man
turned me over, and took my pocket-knife and pocket-book. I had
some of these brass things that looked like cents. They said:
"Here's some money; here's some money." I said to myself: "You
got fooled that time."

Q. What did you see done there?

A. We fought them right hard during the battle, and killed some

reinforcements could come up. They said that they never could
have got in if they had not done that; that we had whipped them;
that they had never seen such a fight.

Q. Did you see the flag of truce?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. What did they do when the flag of truce was in?
