August. 10. Whereas […] a chief Counsellor to the old Squaw-Sachem of Narragansett, was by some of Road-Island brought into Boston, and found guilty of promoting the War against the English, he was this day shot to death in the Common at Boston. As he was going to his execution, some told him that now he must die, he had as good speak the truth, and say how many Indians were killed at the Fort-Fight last winter. He replied, that the English did that day kill above seven hundred fighting men, and that three hundred who were wounded, dyed quickly after, and that as to old men, women and Children, they had lost no body could tell how many, and that there were above three thousand Indians in the Fort, when our Forces assaulted them, and made that notable slaughter amongst them.
