Q.—Did the Indians have an interview with Mr. Rogers after the one on the stairs, up to the time he was shot?
A.—No; the Indians were not in the room, except Tamsaky and Joe Lewis, and we were all very still and Mr. Rogers was all the time in my sight, except as I stepped to the bed for the sheet, and I was very quick.
Q.—Did you hear it reported that Mr. Rogers said he overheard Dr. and Mrs. Whitman and Mr. Spalding talking at night about poisoning the Indians?
A.—No; but after being taken to Umatilla, one of the two Frenchmen said that the Indians’ talk was that an Indian who understood English overheard such conversation.
Q.—Did you consider Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Whitman were meeting their fate like devoted Christians?
A.—Yes.
Q.—When did the priest arrive?
A.—Wednesday, while the bodies were being prepared for the grave. The bodies were collected into the house on Tuesday evening.
Q.—Did the Indians bury a vial or bottle of the Doctor’s medicine?
A.—They said they did. Joe Stanfield made the box to bury it in, and the Indians said they buried it.
