"Lewis Says - Drennon came to my house last night about 9 or 10 o'clock (we were all in bed) he broke in the door & presented a large pistol to my head demanded arms I told him I had none he then struck me with his pistol over the eye stunned me & cut my head open  he then asked for my money my wife got up went to the box & took out & gave him my pocket book with a cents in it  he then went to the bed of my old fatherinlaw & searched his pockets & my childrens also & took away everything they had in it  He then went off - (he had an accomplice outside)

I then got up and dressed my self & went to the next house fearing they might come back to get some help while I was out they came back & beat my poor old father-in-law so bad I am afraid he will die (Case is now being tried by Military Court  The old man died 2 days after the outrage)
