Freder.ck Hays, sworn II saw Frck running
from two soldiers, aid the soldiers pursued him
run afier the volunteers and begged ihem for God
sake not to kill him. One of the volunteers named
Miller took held of me and told me was prisoner.
told him wouid go with him any where Three
overihe head with their swords 1.-The hat of the
pr ,ner WAS exhibited and besides being very
bloody was cut through When they let me 20,
1 went to the house TO wash The blood from my
face l did not see where Frck was shot The
soldiers said they wanted TO shoot some one and
when Frick run fhey pursued him Frick had had
no difficulty with the soldiers that know of
There were four or five OF the soldiers around me
when was cut. knew none of them but Miller
Miller was not one of the two who were running
after Frick. do not know why was struck
John Doerfngor, sworn-Hcnry Neds and fny-
self were on the outside, under some apple trees,
when we saw Schmidt st the gate, and one OF the
soldiers guarding him. We turned across the oats
and corn to avoid them. We then saw young
Frick running, and two soldiers pursuing him with
their rifles Fin ling they could not catch him,
one Of them stopped, and heard the report of
gun from the direction in which the soldiers were
running / could not gee them for the trees am
confident that one OF the soldiers who pursued
Frick, shot him. Mr. Neidt went to Frick and
took hold Of him. Frick walked ten or twelve
PAGES When got to him, 1 found he had been
shot through the body. Before that, saw Schmidt
pointing his gun in the direction Of Atmaier and
heard some thing like the snap OF lock Mr Grohu-
waId ran up and took the gun from him. Schmidt
had had difficulty with Neidt about an admission
badge and threatened 10 shoot Neidt Schmidt
ask cd Neidt If he had paid to come in Neiit said
