Affidavit

My name's John Carter. I keep a grocery store  - on the morning of the 7th of Jany, I had some Col men in the Store - amongst them was Calvin Carter Whillock Fields and Wash Rhodes and some others who were there on business, I saw Mr Malone come into my house and said that there should be no fuss - and at the same time he pushed all the col men into a corner - and whilst they the col men were all huddled together the whites fired into them, at that fire range Rhodes was killed, I cannot know who shot him - but I think it was Mr Lemore from Springvile - he made his boast afterward that he killed one Radical nigger anyhow =
