Answer. I was over on the island with Mrs. Johnson.
Question. Did you go back to Fort Pillow after the battle?
Answer. Yes, sir.
Question. What did you see there?
Answer. I did not see anything more than what Mrs. Johnson saw. I saw a burned man. He was lying right where a house was burned. He was a white man, but as I was alone by myself, I felt frightened, and did not look at it. I saw many buried there, some half buried, and negroes lying around there unburied. I heard that there was a man nailed up to a building and burned, but I did not see it.
Question. What time of day was it that you were there?
Answer. About 2 o'clock, the day after the fight. I saw that the man who was burned was a white man. Mrs. Ruffin was there and examined it, and can tell you all about it.
