e fight at Fort Pillow?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Describe what you saw done there.

A. Most all the men that were killed on our side were killed
after the fight was over. They called them out and shot them
down. Then they put some in the houses and shut them up, and
then burned the houses.

Q. Did you see them burn?

A. Yes, sir.

Q. Were any of them alive?

A. Yes, sir; they were wounded, and could not walk. They put them
in the houses, and then burned the houses down.

Q. Do you know they were in there?

A. Yes, sir; I went and looked in there.

Q. Do you know they were in there when the house was burned?

A. Yes, sir; I heard them hallooing there when the houses were
burning.

Q. Are you sure they were wounded men, and not dead men, when
they were put in there?

A. Yes, sir; they told them they were going to have the doctor
see them, and then put them in there and shut them up, and burned
them.

Q. Who set the house on fire?

A. I saw a rebel soldier take some grass and lay it by the door,
and set it on fire. The door was pine plank, and it caught easy.

Q. Was the door fastened up?

A. Yes, sir; it was barred with one of those wide bolts.
