But as for handcuffing Kennedy to a tree, or cutting his ear off, or brutally treating any of them is a falsehood. If Kennedys ear was cut off it was not done by me, and none of my mates was near him after he was shot. I put his cloak over him and left him as well as I could, and were they my own brothers I could not have been more sorry for them. This cannot be called wilful murder for I was compelled to shoot them, or lie down and let them shoot me. It would not be wilful murder if they packed our remains in, shattered into a mass of animated gore to Mansfield. They would have got great praise and credit as well as promotion, but I am reckoned a horrid brute because I had not been cowardly enough to lie down for them under such trying circumstances, and insults to my people.
