W. Cox "went to the court to bear testi- mony in favor of Clinton Cox, v/ho was among the prisoners, and had been a member of the bridge guard, and who was judged not guilty of desertion, but was detained a prisoner by the rebels, a?td died in prison j thinks the court was composed of Virginians from Pickett's division.
Mr. Bryan McCullom " went to see Gen. Hoke be- foee the execution, and asked for an order for the body of his brother-in-law, in order to bury it. Hoke inquired if he wanted to
...bury him in a Yankee uniform. He replied that he did. Hoke then expressed surprise that so respectable a man would bury his brother-in-law in a Yankee uniform." Several witnesses testify that many of these men went inside the Union lines for the double purpose of escaping conscription, and of fighting against the detested and cruel rebel rule. Civilians testify that they were placed in jail and treated in the most cruel manner, because they were suspected of entertaining Union sentiments.
The testimony throughout proves most conclusively that the most of these men who were executed had never been in the rebel service; that some of them were in State organizations for the purpose of doing local guard duty, and that they enlisted in these local companies with the distinct understanding that they were not to go out of the State.
