Gen. Peers: Did Mr. Thompson mentioned anything to you about landing alongside of a ditch that contained a large number of bodies?

Col. Henderson: No Sir.

Gen. Peers: Did he mentioned to you seeing a coloured sergeant point his weapon in the right direction of a ditch which contained some dead non combatants or non combatants?

Col. Henderson: No Sir. He did not report to me any incident of a US soldier firing into a ditch, filled with non combatants or with anybody.
