kill the man, but was sworn to obey his
officers, and when Tucker told him to kill
GRAY, he raised his gun, fired and killed
him instantly. The negroes charged Gray
with giving the whites intimation of the
proposed attack on Vicksburg and refusing
to Join them against the whites. Oliver
saws he heard this stated by the leaders of
his squad before the order was given 10
