Extract of a letter from Lancaster, October 12, 1756.  The
prisoners and scalps taken at Kittanning are brought hither,
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 by the Governor.  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 him to Kittanning.  They tied him to a black
post, danced round him, made a great fire . . . [4 lines]
