By Mr. Gooch:
Question. Were you at Fort Pillow when the battle took place there, and it was captured by the rebels?
Answer. I was there; I was a cook, and was waiting on the captain and major.
Question. What did you see done there? What did the rebels do after they came into the fort?
Answer. They killed all the men after they surrendered, until orders were given to stop; they killed all they came to, white and black, after they had surrendered.
Question. The one the same as the other?
Answer. Yes, sir, till he gave orders to stop firing.
