I, Charles Alling of New Haven, of lawful age, testify and say I saw, examined and assisted in the burying of Capt John Gilbert, Asa Todd, Joseph Dorman, Samuel Woodin and Silas Woodin, - That Capt. John Gilbert was shot through the knee, and then appeared to be killed with a club, as his head was very much bruised and a  club, bloody, lay beside him,  - That no wound appeared upon Asa Todd, except that he was pierced with a bayonet, one through the head and twice through the body,-- That Joseph Dorman had his thigh broken just above his knee, but it appeared to me to have been done with a stone which lay by him bloody, and that he was pierced with bayonets once through the head and once through the body, but no other wound, - That Samuel Woodin appeared to be shot through the body with a grape shot, but not otherwise wounded, - That I cannot say anything particularly as to the wounds of Silas Woodin and further saith not.
