General,

In accordance with instructions contained in communication from War Dept. Bureau Ref. Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, Washington D. C. of January 24th, 1867, I have the honor to submit the following report of the number of murders and outrages committed in this state since the organizing of the Bureau to February 20th, 1867 in which Freedmen have been victims or parties as reported to this office by the Agents of the Bureau.

The following statement will show the number of outrages or victims in the aggregate, a detailed history of each case being given in succeeding pages of the report.

Freedmen killed by whites . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70

In no instance in any of the foregoing cases has a white man been punished for killing or ill treating a freedman. In some few cases the guilty parties are in jail awaiting trial but the majority have either been justified by a Coroner's Jury, acquitted or admitted to bail in sums varying from $300 to $1,000 and in one instance $3,000.

On the other hand, of the three freedmen charged with murder, two have been convicted and hung. There can be no doubt but that in some of the North Western Parishes of this state many murders and outrages have been committed which will never be brought to right and it is thought the aggregate number of murders given above would be more than doubled had all the cases been reported to the Agents of the Bureau.

In the following pages the cases are given in the order in which they occurred with the action taken by the Civil Authorities in each case as far as known.

Synopsis of Murders Committed in Parish of St. Landry
September and October 1868

Parish of St. Landry

Under date of Sept. 16th information has been received that several freedmen who had located land in parish under the Homestead Act had been driven from their homes and one of them William Johnson had been killed by the Arcadians. The others were compelled to take refuge with their neighbors.

Regarding the riot which originated at Opelousas on the 28th of Sept. in which various and conflicting accounts of the casualties are reported,

The first reliable account of same states 2 white men and 20 or 30 Negroes were killed, more definite information afterwards received gave the following result, 2 whites killed, 19 blacks killed and wounded as follows, 2 whites and 2 Negroes seriously, and others slightly, that other Negroes are reported and may be killed in isolated places, but no positive evidence of the same----

Other estimates place these casualties at a much larger number and in some instances are reported as high as 2 or 3 hundred, but these highest figures are doubtless greatly exaggerated having their origin in the excited minds of personal imagination. From other parties residents of the parish is stated that 6 Indians had been killed by the people for refusing to join Democratic Clubs that Victor Dauphan, c, was killed in Washington on the night of October 1st, that a man "Republican" was killed in Opelousas on night of Monday October 19th, that a large number of Republicans have been killed in Grand Prairie since September 27th and that men had to be detailed from Washington to bury them.

Still later advices from reliable authority state that a freedman was found murdered 3 miles from Opelousas on the 20 Oct. 20th and reports are current of freedmen killed in various portions of the parish.

Natchitoches La. Nov. 5, 1868
Extract from Letter of James Cromie
Reports Murder Alfred Hazen & c.

"Again in the 5th ward they murdered on Monday night the president of our club in that ward and destroyed all our tickets took the chairman of the commissioners out of his house after robbing him of his registration papers and all our tickets as well as burning his school books as he was a teacher, and robbing him of his private property---Blindfolded him and took him to the woods when he promised to vote the Democratic and resign the office of Police Juror or they would hang him, beat him nearly to death,"

"On the Saturday week before the election R. L. Faulkner colored Police Juror of the 5th ward came to town and I had him take tickets to ?Desoto as well as his own ward. He got a young man to take the tickets to Pleasant Hill to a party there for distribution he was met on the road and being a stranger was taken they took him off his horse after resistance and took his tickets from him put a rope about his neck and tied him up when nearly dead they took him down again and because he would not tell hung him up again when he told them that he got the tickets from Mr. Faulkner----
     that night they visited Faulkner and would have killed him but for one of the party when they near beat him to death and after robbing him of everything and telling him what they would do to me, they left him and went to Alfred Hazen and because he would not come out went to set fire to his house when sooner than see all his family destroyed he told his wife he would go out as he knew they would kill him anyhow and he would rather die than see all his family destroyed slaughtered he went out and they killed and immediately butchered him. This man's only crime was that he was an exhorter in the Methodist Church a branch established by Wm. Heyward and under the supervision of the Rev. Dr. Norman . . . and President of the Grant and Colfax club ward no. 5"

"From Genl. McLaughlin's report the parties to this can be traced but he has made the statement I have just written but I have not given you the names, have heard them. He gave them to Hilstand."

Synopsis of Murder &c. Committed in Parishes of Caddo and Bossier September and October 1868

Parishes of Bossier and Caddo

Information has been received that Henry Jones, Freedman, one of the leaders on the intended riot in Bossier Parish on or about September 20th was taken from his home and shot that he was then placed upon a brush pile which was fired and was then left by his intended murderers who supposed him to be dead after their departure he succeeded in crawling off but not before he was badly burnt.

Also under date of September 20th that Freedmen in northern part of Parishes are constantly being taken from their homes by desperadoes and either being killed or forced to leave their homes, crops and everything they possess, that no laws of any kind are enforced, that on Sept. 29th at Shady Grove plantation in Bossier Parish about 8 miles from Shreveport a riot occurred caused by the lawless acts of desperadoes in which (2) two white men were shot and mortally wounded. Thirteen (13) freedmen and one (1) freedwoman killed and (2) two freedmen wounded. Latter advices in regard to the Bossier troubles state that some 8 or 10 freedmen more than the above reported were killed by the Arkansas Desperadoes and that after their departure the citizens of Bossier and the friends of the two murdered white men have been in constant pursuit of all freedmen implicated in the murder of the two whites and have killed all whom they have caught, from all the information that can be gleaned the number of freedmen killed, of which there are various statements, will reach (100) one hundred at least. It would be a matter of impossibility to ascertain the names of the killed or for an investigation to be made. Anyone that would attempt the task would share the fate of the rioting negroes.

At Shreveport on October 16th a colored man named Robert Gray was shot and killed by a white man named Charles Wasson in a store on Texas St. The body of a negro was also found floating in Red River the same day in a far advanced state of decomposition.

Tangapoho August 20th 1865

Mary Stewart (colored) complains of Demarcus D. Day as follows:

I was employed by Thos. Day to labor until January 1866 for $6.00 per month to give me a dress and feed me; on the evening of the 19th of August 1865 D. D. Day came into my own yard and ordered me into my own house and said he was going to kill me. That we were all free niggers and that he was going to kill the damned free niggers. He cut me twice on my left arm with a long pocket knife; I got away from him, he caught me again and took me up in the white folks house, he then cut me once with his knife in the head; he then took me along the road towards his house and said he would keep me until morning. While on the way he said "now I am going to kill you" before morning and bury you. When we arrived at his mother's house she came out and begged him not to kill me, he became mad at her and struck me twice in the right arm. I then attempted to get away from him and succeeded but he made one stab with his knife which penetrated my side. He tore all the clothes from me.
