Philadelphia, October 14. Extract of a letter from
Lancaster, dated October 10. The prisoners and scalps taken
at Kittanning are brought hither with with Jacob's horn and
pouch, and many belts of wampum. There seems to be no doubt
of his being killed. The prisoners have been examined here
by the governour: They say that Turner the Corporal at Fort
Granville, who ordered the gate to be opened to the enemy,
was put to death by the Indians when they got in to
Kitenning: They ty'd him to a black post, danced round him,
made a great fire, and having heated gun-barrels . . .
[tortured him dreadfully]
