24 at the triall of the 11 Indians : as an artifice to render them all pfdyeous and treachourous to the English , that they had concealed a great quantity of powder & ball & hid it in the ground in the fort , yet ptended to delivr all to the Leistanant [Lieutenant], for the captains & soulders when they seased the prisoners or not long after, Ransacked the fort & finding thir comon stocks of Amunition, & thre or 4 gunns more [which Some men were abroad when the former were deliverd had brought unto the fort] afterward were seased ; this matter was much talked of & great clamors made against those poore chtians about it , But when the cheefest of praying indians of marllborough had liberty to make answr for themselves things were so fully cleared that neither dishinly? perfydiousness or lying could bee imputed to them touching those things.
