rants for the murder of a cOlOred man
named James Gray. In an interview with
Vicksburg Herald reporter, ono of the
negroes, Silas Oliver, admitted that he shot
and killed Gray, and says he did it under
orders from JEFF Tucker, who was head
man in the Black League, but does not
seem to have had any military command.
In reply to q question of the Herald re.
porter, Sllas said he hated to kill the man
but was sworn to obey the officers, and
when Tucker told him to kill Gray he raised
his gun and fired, killing him instantly. It
had given the whites of VicksburH
warning of the proposed attack on the
city. and thereby enabled them to prepare
for defense, and that he further sinned in
refusing to join the other negroes in theiv
war on the whites. Silas says he heard this
stated by the leader of his squad before tho
ordor was given him to shoot. Both ne.
ination before Squire Mann, on Wednesday.
The atiidavits charge Slas Oliver with ma.

with being accessory before the fact.
