The negroes got very much frightened and went to the woods, and stayed there two r weeks, and came near starving to death, r but didn't. Their fright was occa sloned by a radot white men on a Bunday. It was thirty-five miles from "home" to the *i t ull Black bayou.

It was after the electon that the trouble commmeed. There was another box near Well's schooho , where we voted, where an election wa held by theregular oommwis , who did not meet us. They were n.t there at the time the law said they should be, nd we elected others. The box wit ath reular commisiooer was one hun dred a ty yards from where we held our electiom.

Terwase nobody mad about It. It was ll pleasant and nice, and we held our election and they held theirs. 1Among the men who came to the church was Carroll Vance; he is the man who stepped over my head when they went through the Soods, and who said, "Be sure you kill Pick ett and obb, and the rest can't And the place.o" This crowd came from BoIealer. To Mr. Cameron-We had the reristry book, but the regular commissioners had an other. Oame down on the )anube and was prteent when Clark and Whitewere taken off. The boat drifted down and got to a certain place, don't Knuw the name, and landed, and I saw a great row of men standing back on the hill with shotguns, and when the stage plank was pushed out I saw live or six men with Winchester rifles. They came on board and one of them said to me, "Where areyou going vou long-legged s-of a a --, and I said, I am going to New Orleans from Shreveport, that man Leonard down there sub .naed me, but I am all right, air." Witness in telling this did a capital pieoe of acting, simulating great fear, and brining It out In such a treambling, stattering, frightened voice, that the mirth of the committee was aroused, and they laughed heartily the Re publlan membere particularly enjoying it. They took thetwo men, and when tey were takins them of the boat the clerk of the boat askedlif there was any warrants, and one of the white men said " y," and took out three. The clerk looked at them, but did not read them, and said they were all right, and the men were taken o. The committee took a recess of one hour.

They scattered Sbecause oe of the white men told a colored man when he said his name was on the books Sthat he was d-d liar, and pulled his pistol. The colored man ran, and yelled, "Look out boys; look out for yourselves,' and then the colored men ac.tIeed. They were called Sbaek and c ne back, but they wouldn't let a them vote, becuse they said their names were not on the books, or they were too m They told me m name was not on Sbooks, bt I ot studyin about it and Ssaid I was.ng to vote the Democratic tick ® et, and thlbtey told me I could vote. In the ewming eighteen men case into I town armed with rifles and shotguns,. Billy SJacobsand another white man after awhile [got to scufliog in fun, and one of them fell against a negro man named Bob Williams. SHe started to run and Billy Jacobs pulled °out his pistol and eommended popp at Shim. Then everybody hallooed fr hissix ' teen-shooter and the eighteen men rushed for their rfles, and the firing commenced. i Saw several colored men killed. Bob Wil li ams was among them. Henry Boyd and r Dr. Bob Moes said before the fight com menced that they only wanted to "get" live or six niggers. The bulldozers after that rode all over the parish, but did not catch any colored men, as they had all left, or were In the woods. O Came to this city on the Danube; saw Clark e and White taken off. When the boat landed a I saw a crowd of men on the levee, and saw a young man I knew loading his shotgun. ' About the time the boat landed the men came r onboard. I was so soared that I ran all about the boat, but Mr. Charlie Jones ran faster than [ 41d and caught me. Nat Cash told him I wasn't Lot Clark. They got Clark and White and took them off. In the r. crowd that came aboard was Charlie Jones, Nat Cash, Jim Boynton, Henry Boyd and Bob Moes. Don't know what became of I Clark and White after they were taken from the boat. Some pipes were put off at the landing where the men were taken, for a ýt blind, I asuppos becausethey were consigned to the White Hall place, a mile and a half above. XONBO BBROWN (COLORED) s was next on the stand. Resides in Caddo parish. Was at Caledonla on electron day. The fuss started about sundown and when It e commenced I started off. I got to a corner r and Bob Williams was shot down right down by me. He was running from the polls. That e night another man was killed at Bill Hutch ings' store. 81 Thomas was killed that night t too. I left the same night and went to s Shreveport, and from there I came here. Was on the Danube when Clark and White were taken off. Told about the same story of the capture as the preceding witnesses. JOHN BLACOKMA (ootoaED).. SBemsde in Tenes parish, about 8 miles from t the town of Waterproof. Was told by Mr. Wm. P. Blely, a white Democrat, that the Democrats were going to kill him, and the e best thing he could do was to get out of the way. Went· to the woods, staying there dur Sing the day and returning home at night. SBfely finally sent for him and told him that he had better leave the parish, and he left. B Saw a number of armed bodies of men, in eluding the crowd with Capt. Peck, which t made the attack on Fairfax's house. This body came from Catahoula parish; recog nised Dave Bowman's sons, Marthy, Dr. Rusher Frank Bovee, Willie Harrington, Frank Jones and Billy Fulton in the party. Frank Hayes had a party out looking for him. and this part hung a negro boy, but not long enough to nill him. r There were live men whom the Hayes party were looking for. Witness considered that in 6 giving his testimony he was doing the worst r thing for his own personal good he had ever r doae,and did not think it would be safe for him toreturn to the parish. After the Fair fax affair the negroes in witness' ward armed r hemselvesand assembled in a body. There were about thirty or forty. Witness advised them to retire to their homes, but they in sisted on marching to Waterproof to aseist in aght they believed to be going on there. r He snt h constable with the party and they mardbed in the direetion of Waterproof. His eonetable reported that when half way to Waterproof the body ptopped and he and s another man oontinued on to investigate un til they met JudgecOordil, who told them to Sdisband and gotime and ho harm would be R9oue.

H. . osrrTH (OOLOJaD) was another man who, understandiag that white Democrats intended to visit hin, and were abktous to see him, left the parish. He thought the alleged contemplaatd visit had something to dowith the fact that he was secretsry of Fairfax's club. Went back to the parish after the election, and was told by Dr. Andrews that he would be as safe as any body, provided there was no investigation of the recent troubles, and then he bilug an In telligent man anal able to give his testimony, would be in danger. Dr. Andrews was seve ral times elected to office as a Republican. Was told by Mr. Yenil, mayor of Water proof, that parties in Fraukliu had been con suited, and it was decided that he could re main. Notwithstanding this he got fright ened again, because somebody informed him that he was liable to get hurt, and he again left the parish, It being the proper thing for him to do, in view of the proposed visit of the Teller Committee. He remained seared and did not return. Witness being called on to state the reasons aesigned by the Democrate for the visit to Fairfax's house, read the published statement of Wade R. Young, which represented that the negroes, under the leadership of Fairfax, contemplated breaking through the quarao tine, and that as the whites were outnunt bered ten to one, Capt. Peck the commander of the nearest company of State troops, was called on, and responding, advanced to Fair fax's house for the purpose of letting him know that the State authorities would main tarn the quarantine. They were frightened, and the fight ensued. To Mr. Oarland-Mr. Newton, of Water proof, told witness that after Capt. Peck got through with Fairfax he was coming for him (wltness) that Capt. Pock had said he wanted him and airfax. Messrs. Yenni, McCullough, Moss and Dr. Andrews, with whom witness talked on his return to the parish after his first departure, expressed the opinion that it º was a good thing for him that he left when he did, but that there was no furthe nger. Wltaess was one of a committee wbilh called upon Gov. Nicholls In reference to the Teness troubles, and the Governor stated that he had visited the parlsh, and under stood that the leading colored men were to be captured and carried off. The Governor did not state who was to make the captu or what the object was. MIS,. A. a. LUNT,r, wife of Raford Blunt, testified that she was I at home in Natchitoches parish when her I husband was captured at his house. Capt. Cunningham foroedAher out of the house with oaths and at the point of the pistol. She was marched in the direction of the Jal, but was released before reaching there. Made two In effectual attempt, to see her husband. Never saw her husband after the midnight succeed ing the day of his arreet, at which time he visited home in charge of a squad to get his I horse. until she came to this city in ?ovem- e her. Was not disturbed after her husband's a departure from the parish, but was frequently insulted. Others besides Capt. Cunningham presented their pistols at her. LAFAYT.Tm OOBB (.omLED). Have lived in Caddo parish for eight years. a Took part with the Radicals in the last cam paign. Voted the Republican ticket. About a week before the electS4a, being a candidate for justice of the peace, I went through ward No. 1. They had moved the ballot-box way up in a point, and I, being a candidate, went to see about it to look, It up. I put on an old hat, an old pair of shoes, and an old Kressy sack. It was dangerous for niggers to pass through the parish. I didn't wanu them to know who I was and I made up a brother and said I Ws. looking for him. I said his name was Wlm. Andsmem. W .ADGerson. Witaess then at length related the various conversations had with about twenty-five persons, while Cobb was In search of his orother. His adventures, someof them were quite amusing. Finally he got back t his starting point and Informed his constituents that the box could be reached, and that re ports of the killing of colored men In the dis trait in whclh It lay was false, and they could safely Ro there on election day and vote. Mr. M. L. Bombey the man I was living with, told me thatif I went to the box and led the negroes to it I would be killed. I got the men together, and was told that if I did not get them scattered they would all be killed by a crowd of forty-nine men who were riding about the pariah. I had them at mychurch. The white men missed the road and I led my boys back Into the woods. Me and W. I. Pickens and Bill Smith went back to the church, and after we had been there awhile forty-nine white men came up and looked at the church. They were sort of scary, and they peeped, and peeped, but they were sort of skittish and were afraid to go to the church. They went through the woods. One of them stepped over my head and another over my feet, and they went off. Witness then continued his story of the ad ventures of his party. It was one of con tinual scares without any apparent cause; much wading through bayous and concluded with their reaching the poll without being molested; and, after a friendly reception by the white men present, they deposited their ballots, and "I never saw a happier time in all my born days, and we were mightily re joiced because we was told that every man who voted the Republican ticket vould be killed." After voting they returned home is a body, very happy, but very hungry. eside in Caledonia Caddo parish. Was at the poll when the firing commenced. Mr. Norwood and Mr. Jacobs started the shoot ing. I left and went home. The way it came about was this: They accused a colored man named Madison Beams with having guns in his house to resist the white people. Reams said that he had them there to protect his gin, as Sam Smith, a colored man, had butred his brother's, and said he would burn his. He was told he was a d-n liar; and then the white men asked the sheriff If they eouldn't take the guns out of Reams' house, and the sheriff said they could. Then Mr. Jacobs and a squad went towards the house, but the col ored boys ran ahead; they said the white men couldn't have their guns. They got to the house first and took them; some of them did and started to run, and then the firing com menced. * Witness then went on to state that he be came alarmed, and went about the parish dodging bulldozers. Said his brother-in-law, Green Abram, was killed, and that Mr. Ken nedy said he was a d-n good lighting Baptist s-n of a b-h, and fought wel. Mr. Kennedy afterwards told him he could live in the parish, but he didn't believe it. Was on the Danube, but gave no particulars about the arrest of Clark and White, other thnm those testified to by former witnesses. To Mr. Bailey-The election was over when the fighting began, and they were waiting to count the votes. BENEY WILLIAM (COLOBBD). Have lived in Caddo parish since 1869; was at Caledonila on election day; was authorized by Attorney Leonard and Judge Bowman to issue Republican tickets. I issued them up to between 9 and 10 o'clock. Mr. Jere Beard, who was running for magistrate, came to me and wanted to know what ticket I was is suing. He knew the ticket, and he said: "G-d d-n you, you are going to get me!" After that heard a good many threats, and stopped issuing tickets. Went off before the light commenced. Went off with a Mr. Elli son, a candidate on the Republican ticket. While going to Shreveport was stopped by twenty men under Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones cursed Mr. Ellison, and said, "Now, you have played h-ll, haven't you ?" He looked up in my face and said, 'Oh G--d d-n you, I've got you," and leveled his gun at me. Mr. Jim Boynton stepped up, and said, "Hold, hold, G-d d--n you, you don't kill anybody here." andMr. Jones put u his gun and told me, "Go on, d-n you, I've got to go to the riot, but I'll catch you!' We drove off. Was on the Danube, but knew nothing more about the arrest than witnesses who had pre ceded him did. He told about the same A noticeable a mad one sahowin g how w.il drilled tbstevery !x 5.tte+ dire said house was visited by armed men. He long enough to count temand make a that there were esactly seventeen of them; no more,noles; and he weastut of thebackoor ad into the woods. Was told by friends It would be better for him to leave the parish, and he left. The colored people were mightily in earnest duping the Iaet tlection, and I'l tell you. why. The white people told us: "The mo ment you drop these carpet-baggers and take up your.own young men or old men, that time the squabble will stop." Well, sir, we did it this time, and I never saw worse squab bling than we had. It was worse than it ever was. ILaughter.1 The committee adjourned until 9 o'clock I this mornlug. THE COURTS.
