Landram commander that he was captured at the battle at Mansfield La and afterwards held as a prisoner of war by the Confederate forces at Tyler Texas- that while there he heard a Lieutenant in a Texas Regiment say that it was his regiment that killed Capt King and party near Cumberland Ford Ky. That he gives this statement because he believes hopes it may remove an imputation of guilt from John Y. Myers whom he is satisfied is innocent of any complicity in the affair
