Question. You came back there the next morning?

Question. What do you know about their burying men who were not dead?

Answer. No, sir.
Question. What did you hear about it?
Answer. I heard one of them say that he saw where a negro was buried, and saw a large mass of foam and dirt where somebody had been breathing through the earth. He brushed it off and saw a negro there still breathing. I saw one or two who looked as if they had been buried when they came on board. I heard one ask them if they had been buried, and they said "Very near it." I don't think they were wounded. One of them had been in the dirt. I don't know whether he played dead and was buried or not.
Question. Do you know anything of their killing the men in the hospital?
