believed he had killed white man he would
have fed with Little Crow. The Witnesses lied

on him.
8. Sna-ma-ne, (7snkling Walker says he was
boys. They say he killed two persons. The
bows told lies. he was not at that place at all.
8. Ta-tay-mema, (Ro,nsd Wind, Is q brother
in-law of the former well known Mr.. Joseph
Renville. He was the public camp cryer OF
Little Crow, before and during the outbreak.
After the battle of Wood Lake, he came over
to the opposition, and was the cryer at Camp
Release when the captives were delivered up.
He was condemned on the testimony of two
German boys, who said they saw him kill their
mother. The old man denies the charge
says he was not across the river at the time,
and that he was unjustly condemned.
He is the only one of the thirty -nine who has
been at all in the habit of attending Protestant
worship. On last Sabbath he requested DIR.
Williamson to baptize him, protesting repent
ance and faith in Jesus Christ; which was done
on Monday, before he knew that he was among
those to be hung at this time. May God have
mercy on his soul.
10. Rda-in-y an-ka, (Rdttling Runner says he
did not know of the uprising on Monday, the
18th of August, until they had killed number
of men. He then went out and met Little
Crow, and tried to stop the murders, but could
not. The next day his son was brought home
wounded from Fort Ridgley. He forbade the
delivery of the white captives to Paul when he
demanded them, and he supposes that he is to
be hung for that.
II. Do-wan-sa, (7he Singer,) says he was one
of six who were down in the Swan Lake neigh
borhoOd. He knows that they killed two men
and two women but this was done by the rest
of the party, and not by himself
II. Ha-pan, (Secona Child, if son, says he
was not in the massacres of New Ulm nor the
Agency. He was with the company who killed
Patwell and his companions. He took one of
the women. O-ya-tay-ta- wa killed Patwell
II. Shoon-ka-ska, (VMte Dog) says that
when the outbreak took place. he ran away,
and did not get any of the stolen property. At
the ferry, he talked with Quinn. First called
to them to come over, but when he saw that
the Indians were in ambush, he beckOned to
Capt. Marsh to stay back. He says that his posi-
ton and conduct at the ferry were misunder-
stood and misrepresented; that he wanted
peace, and did not command the Indians to fire
on Capt Marsh's men; that another man
should be put to death for that. He complains
bitterly that he did not have chance to tell the
things as they were that he could not have an
opportunity of rebutting the false testimony
brought against him.
He says that they all expected to have anOth-
er tral-that they were promised it. That they
have done great wrongs to the white people,
and do not refuse to die. but they think it hard
that they did not have fairer trial. They
want the President TO know this.

them that if they did not kill white men they
would be killed; but he did not shoot any men
there.
