Question. Did you see any of those prisoners formed in line and shot down?
Answer. Yes, sir.
Question. How many?
Answer. They were collected at least four different times.
Question. How long a line?
Answer. Well, it was more in a collection than it was properly in a straight line. There was a line probably as long as this room, or longer—about thirty or thirty-five feet.
Question. These lines were scattered by rebel shots several times?
Answer. They were.
Question. These men were unarmed?
Answer. Unarmed; no arms of any description, and they holding up both hands begging for quarter.
