Question. To what company did you belong?
Answer. Company E, 13th Tennessee cavalry.
Question. Under what officers did you serve?

Question. Were you in the fight at Fort Pillow?
Answer. Yes, sir.
Question. State what you saw there of the fight, and what was done after the place was captured.
Answer. We fought them for some six or eight hours in the fort, and when they charged our men scattered and ran under the hill; some turned back and surrendered, and were shot. After the flag of truce came in I went down to get some water. As I was coming back I turned sick, and laid down behind a log. The secesh charged, and after they came over I saw one go a good ways ahead of the others. One of our men made to him and threw down his arms. The bullets were flying so thick there I thought I could not live there, so I threw down my arms and surrendered. He did not shoot me then, but as I turned around he or some other one shot me in the back.
Question. Did they say anything while they were shooting?
Answer. All I heard was, "Shoot him, shoot him!" "Yonder goes one!" "Kill him, kill him!" That is about all I heard.
