Answer. I think not, from the fact that the boards came up with the remains as we raised them up; and we then saw the nails sticking through his clothes, and into the boards.
Question. Did you notice any other bodies that had been burned?
Answer. Yes, sir; I buried four that had been burned.
Question. What was the appearance of them?
Answer. I did not notice any particular appearance about them, except that they had been burned.
Question. How came they to be burned?
Answer. They were in the tents, inside of the fort, which had been burned. I am certain that there were four that lay where the tent had been burned, for there were the remains of the boards under them, which had not been fully burned. Those that were burned in the fort were black men.
