SNOW, MAY 12, 1902

Statement of Walter H. Snow.

Walter H. Snow is my full name; address is 117 North Battery street, Burlington. My age is 22. I enlisted on the 26th of July, 1899, in the Twenty-sixth U. S. Volunteer Infantry, assigned to D Company. Sailed with my regiment. Discharged 13th of May, 1901. I saw the priest when he arrived on the gunboat. He was dressed as an artillery sergeant. I stood guard over him that morning. I was sorry for him and used to give him food, though there were strict orders against it. They gave him very little food, mostly bread and water and a little rice. I saw him for the last time the day before he disappeared. I know that the water cure was very frequently given to get information and guns. The men used whatever water came handy, often salt. The pain must have been very great. I have seen them give it to some men three times.
