Question. Where were you carried then?
Answer. The next day they took us to Atlanta, and then on to Richmond.
Question. What prison were you put in?
Answer. I was on Belle Isle five or six days and nights, and then they put me in a prison over in town.
Question. How did they treat you there?
Answer. Rough, rough, rough.
Question. What did they give you to eat?
Answer. A small bit of bread and a little piece of meat; black beans full of worms. Sometimes meat pretty good, sometimes the meat was so rotten that you could smell it as soon as you got it in the house. We were used rough, I can tell you.
Question. Did they leave you your property?
Answer. They took everything we had before ever we got to Richmond; my hat, blankets, knife. We did not do very well until we got some blankets from our government; afterwards we did better. Before that we slept right on the floor, with nothing over us except a little old blanket one of us had.
