handed me to answer. I was between
15 and 16 years old when Weaver was

and in support ol what 1 shall write,
I refer to ajew c.tizens of this county:
J. P. May, president People's Nation
a! Bank; Z. W. Ewing, exSpeaker of
the Senate; Flournoy Rivers, State
Senator, J. B. Stacey, ex-clerk and
master of Chancery Court ,Thos. E.
McCoy, sheriff Giles ' county, Col
Solon E. Rose, Dr. William Battle,
Dr. J. C. ''Roberts ; B. W. Butler,
judge of County Court) R. II. Ksgs
dale, county trustee, and L. E A1-er.
nethy, president Commercial Baik
and Trust Company. Mcst of thege
men were here and know he facts.
The others know from repulr.tion.
The said Weaver teemed to have a
perfect hatred for the Southern people.
He pillaged, robbed, persecuted, villi
fled and abused our people in every
imaginable way.
He had citizens arretted and i.u
prisoned on trumped up charges, and
made to pay to be released.' He made
the friends . of DK. Cox pay $500
for hit release Mr. Cox it dead, but
his ton, Ed. R. JCox,, is' living here,
and can testify to said (acts. So' can
Maj. J. B, Stacey and CoL S. E. Rose
fciendt of Cox, who paid part of the
money. . He robbed Mr. Jasper Cox
no relation of Mr. D. K. Cox) of $1,
000 worth of spun thread. Jasper
Cox is a reliable citizen of this coun
Ty, and nowuvet near JUodenham,
Gilee county, Tenn
' He robbed John P. Williams, an
ojd reliable farmer and soldier of the
Mexican war, of all ,bis hogt and
meat Mr. Williams' post, office is
this place. . s
He had Dr. J. C Roberts, of this
place arrested, and tried to make him
pay $500 for his refeare, but after he
found out that the doctor would not
pay it, he turned him loose. The
doctor is now living, and will answer
any letter. On January 26, 1864, he
made the following parties pay hi'ra
the sums , opposite their names. I
have the original rectipt he gave my
