I Ephraim Fenno, of lawful age, testify, that on Friday the
ninth instant, as I was going home by the hospital in the
common, I saw Doctor Hall, surgeon of the 14th regiment,
looking out of his window, who said to me, Dirty travelling,
neighbor ! Yes, sir, returned I. He asked me what news in
town ? I told him I heard nothing but what he knew already,
that the talk was about the people that were murdered. He
then asked me if the people of the town were not easier ? I re-
plied, I believed not, nor would be till all the soldiers had left
the town. He then asked me, if I heard whether the 14th re-
giment was going ? I answered yes -- for the people would not
be quiet till they were all gone. He said, the town's people

and said I wish that instead of killing five or six, they had killed five
hundred, damn me if I don't. And further I say not.

murder committed by the soldiers on the evening of the 5th
instant, and said that he believed if the 14th regiment had been
upon guard that day it would not have happened, and told him
that he never liked the 29th regiment since they landed in
Boston; the serjeant asked the reason why he did not like the
29th regiment as well as the 14th ; he answered that they
