PRIVATE JOHN SHAW, NOT AN EYEWITNESS

AS this Deponent has heard, one of them [French] fired a Gun upon which Col. Washington gave the Word for all his Men to fire. Several of them being killed, the Rest betook themselves to flight, but our Indians having gone round, the French when they saw them immediately fled back to the English and delivered up their arms desiring Quarter which was accordingly promised them.Some Time after the Indians came up the Half King took his Tomahawk and split the Head of the French Captain having first asked if he was an Englishman and having been told he was a French Man. He then took out his Brains and washed his Hands with them and then scalped him. All this he [Deponent] has heard and never heard it contradicted but knows nothing of it from his own Knowledge only he has seen the Bones of the Frenchmen who were killed in Number about 13 or 14 and the Head of one stuck upon a Stick for none of them were buried.
