Question. Why did they not shoot you?
Answer. I do not know why they didn't.
Question. How long did you stay with them?
Answer. I staid with them two nights and one day. They took me on Tuesday evening, and I got away from them Thursday morning, about two hours before daylight. They were going to make an early move that morning, and they sent me back for some water, and I left with another boy in the same company with myself.
Question. Where did you go then?
Answer. Right straight through the woods for about three or four miles, and then we turned to the right and came to a road. We crossed the road, went down about three miles, and crossed it again, and I kept on, backwards and forwards, until I got to a creek about five or six miles from here.
Question. Do you know anything of the rebels burning any of the tents that had wounded men in them?
Answer. I know they set some on fire that had wounded men in them, but I did not see them burn, because they would not let us go around to see.
Question. About what time of the day was that?
Answer. It was when the sun was about an hour or three-quarters on from the day of the battle.
