Question. How did you escape?
Answer. They thought they had killed me. They searched my pockets half a dozen times, or more, and took my pocket-book from me.
Question. Did you see anybody else shot after they had surrendered?
Answer. Yes, sir; I saw several shot right around me.

Question. Did you see anything of any burning or burying alive?
