Statement of Imiry[[best guess]] Scott wife of Ed Scott

On monday night about 7 o'clock my husband and I, in company with Richard Adams and Jane Minor took a walk on main st. near 25th, two Reb Boys with grey coats came from the opposite direction. We gave way so that they could pass, one of them ran against me and struck me in the breast with his fist. They said before they got to us that they were not agoing to get out of the way for damned niggers. We get out of the way far as we could. I let go of my husbands hand and went one way, and he went the other, and gave room for them to go between us. One went between us and the other went on the outside and struck me. My husband
