Question. Some white soldiers shot after they were wounded?
Answer. Yes, sir, with the hospital flag flying, and they holding white handkerchiefs over their heads. I saw at least ten soldiers shot individually with white handkerchiefs over their heads. They tore off pieces of their shirts—anything they could get—for flags of truce and to denote surrender.
Question. You say these men were shot down in hospital, with hospital flag flying?
Answer. Yes, sir, lying right down under it—not up walking at all. Every man lying near me was killed—lying close to me and on me. Two lay over me, because they kept piling themselves right up on top close under the bank. It was just down under the brow of the hill. A great many were lying in the water and were shot. Trees that were lying one end in the water and the other on shore, they would just go over on the other side of them and hide in the water, and the rebels would go over and shoot them.
Question. Your citizen's clothes saved you?
Answer. Yes, sir; I told them I had nothing to do with them. They robbed every citizen, taking off most of their clothing.
Question. How much did they take from you?
Answer. Seventy dollars.
Question. You say you were robbed twice.
Answer. Yes, once by the captain of the company and once by the private. I carry my money in my vest pocket always, and had my pocket-book in my pocket with notes in it.
