Witness: Yes, the commander had been sitting there, and the others told him to bring this commander, and there was a dandy collar, and the army started asking me what you came here for, and I told him to come to war and contribute something, and he started with his own screams, not lying, not telling me to kill, and he hit me. He said, "All of you, kill me.".

Witness: Jacob was a black man, he wasn't like the black guy, he was a different uniform, and I can't explain it anymore.
