In page one we talked about the men who either died or came home from Dartmoor and their wife’s., we left off with the list of “American Deaths At The Dartmoor Depot During The War of 1812.” This list will continue here, after the list I will talk about the massacre of April 6, 1815. This page will have a report on the massacre and the names of the Americans and British soldiers who give statements at the enquiry, and a lot more.

Massacre at Dartmoor Prison April 6, 1815.

American State Papers, House of Representatives, 14th Congress, 1st Session
Foreign Relations: Volume 4, Pages 19 through 55, No. 281. Great Britain--Massacre at Dartmoor prison.
Note. On April 4, two days before the massacre a large body of the prisoners rushed into the market square, from whence by the regulations of the prison they are excluded, demanding bread instead of biscuit, which had on that day been issued to the officers of the depot, their demands, however, having been then almost immediately complied with, they returned to their own yards; and the use of force was not necessary.
Here is a report by Charles King and Francis Seymour Larpent on the massacre. After the report there will be a list of Americans that were wounded and killed, along with the names who give statements on what they did and saw on that day. There is also a list of British soldiers and ( civilian?) who also give their statements on what did and saw on that day.
The report.
On the evening of the 6th, about six o'clock, it was clearly proved to us that a breach or hole had been made in one of the prison walls, sufficient for a full-sized man to pass, and that others had been commenced in the course of the day, near the same spot, though never completed; that a number of the prisoners were over the railing, erected to prevent them from communicating with the sentinels on the walls which was of course forbidden by the regulations of the prison; and that, in the space between the railing and those walls, they were tearing up pieces of turf, and want only pelting each other in a noisy and disorderly manner; that a much more considerable number of the prisoners were collected together at that tithe in one of their yards, near the place where the breach was effected; and that, although such collection of prisoners was not unusual at other times, (the gambling tables being commonly kept in that part of the yard,) yet, when connected with the circumstances of the breach and the time of the day, which was after the horn (the signal for the prisoners to retire to their respective prisons) had ceased to sound, it became a natural and jut ground of alarm to those who had charge of the depot.
It was also in evidence that, in the building formerly the petty officers prison, but now the guard barrack, which stands hi the yard; to which the hole in the wall would serve as a communication, a part of the arms of the guard who were off duty and were usually kept in the racks; and though there was no evidence that this was, in any respect, the motive which induced the prisoners to make the opening in the, wall, or even that they were ever acquainted with the fact, it naturally became at least a further cause for suspicion and alarm, and an additional reason for precaution.
Upon these grounds, Captain Shortland appears to us to have been justified in giving the order (which about this time lie seeing to have given) to sound the alarm-bell, the usual signal for collecting the officers of the depot, and putting the military on the alert. However reasonable and justifiable this was as a measure of precaution, the effects produced thereby in the prisons (but which could not have been intended) were most unfortunate, and deeply to be regretted.
A considerable number of prisoners in the yards where no disturbance existed before, and who sound of the bell rushed back from curiosity as it appears, towards the gates where by that time the crowd, had assembled; and many who were at the time absent from their yards, were also, from the plan of the prison, compelled, in order to reach their own homes, to pass by the same spot. And thus, that which was merely a measure of precaution, in its operation increased the evil it was intended to prevent. Almost at the same instant that the alarm-bell rang, (but whether before or subsequent is, upon the evidence, doubtful, though Captain Shortland states it positively as one of his further reasons for causing it o ring,) some one or more of the prisoners broke the iron chain which was the only fastening of No. 1 gate,1eading into the market square, by means of an iron bar; and a very considerable number of the prisoners immediately rushed towards that gate, and many of them began to press forward; as fast as the opening would permit into the square. There was no direct proof before us of previous concert or preparation on the part of the prisoners, and no evidence of their intention or disposition to effect their escape on this occasion, excepting that which arose by inference from the whole of the above detailed circumstances connected together.
The natural and almost irresistible inference to be drawn1 however, froth the conduct of the prisoners, by. Captain Shortland and the military, was, that an intention on the part of the prisoners to escape was on the point of being carried into execution, and it was at least certain that they were, by force, passing beyond the limits prescribed to them, at a time when they ought to have been quietly going in for the night. It was also in evidence that the outer gates of the market square were usually opened about this time to let the bread-wagon pass and repass to the store, although, at the period in question, they were in fact closed.
Under these circumstances, and with these impressions necessarily operating upon his mind, and the knowledge that, if the prisoners once penetrated through the square, the power of escape was almost to a certainty afforded to them, if they should be so disposed, Captain Shortlaud, in the first instance, proceed down the square, towards the prisoners, having ordered a part of the different guards, to the number of about fifty only at first, (though they were increased afterwards to follow him. For some time both he and Doctor Magrath endeavored, by quiet means and persuasion, to induce the prisoners to retire to their own yards explaining to them the fatal consequences which must ensue if they refused, as the military would, in that case, be necessarily compelled to employ force. The guard was, by this time, formed in the rear of Captain Shortland, about two-thirds of the way down the square: the latter is about one hundred feet broad, and the guards extended nearly all across. Captain Shortland, finding that persuasion was in vain, and that, although some were induced by it to make an effort to retire. others pressed on in considerable numbers, at last ordered about fifteen file of the guard, nearly n front of the gate which had been forced to charge the prisoners back to their own yards.
The prisoner were in some places as near the military that one of the soldiers states he could not come fairly to charge, and the military were unwilling to act against an enemy. Some f the prisoners, also were unwilling and reluctant to retire, and some pushing and straggling ensued between the parties arising party from intention, but mainly from the pressure of those behind preventing those in front from getting back. After some little time, however, this charge appears to have been so far effective, and that with little or no injury to the prisoners as to have driven them for the most part, quite down out of the square, with the exception of a small number, who continued their resistance about No. 1 gate. A grate crowd still remained collected after this in the passage between the square and prisoners yards, and in part of these yards in the vicinity of the gate. This assemblage still refused to withdraw and according to most of the English witnesses, and some of the American, was making a noise, hallooing, insulting, and provoking, and daring the military to fire; and, according to the evidence of several of the soldiers and some others, was pelting the military with large stones, by which some of them were actually struck. This circumstance is, however, denied by many of the American witnesses; and some of the English, upon having the question put to them stated that they saw no stones thrown previously to the firing, although their situation at the time was such as to enable them to see most of the other proceedings in the square.
Under these circumstances the firing commenced. With regard to any order having been given to fire, the evidence is very contradictory; several of the Americans swear very positively, that Captain Shortland gave that order; but the manner in which from the confusion of the moment, they describe this part of the transaction; is so different in its details, that it is very difficult to reconcile their testimony. Any of the soldiers, and other English witnesses, heard the word given by some one; but no one of them can swear it was by Captain Shortland, or by any one in particular; and some amongst whom is the officer commanding the gard, think, if Captain Shortland had given such an order, that they must have heard it, which they did not. In addition to this, Captain Shortland denies the fact; and from the situation in which he appears to have been placed at the time, even according to the American witnesses, in front of the soldiers, it may appear somewhat improbable that he such an order. But, however it may remain a matter of doubt whether the firing first began in the square by order, or was a spontaneous act of the soldiers themselves, it seems clear that it was continued and renewed both there and else where which out orders; and that on the platforms, and in several places about the prison, it was certainly commenced without any authority.
The fact of an order having been given at first, provided the firing was under the existing circumstances, justifiable, dose not appear very material in any other point of view then as showing a want of discipline and self possession in the troops, if they should have fired without orders. With regard to the above most important consideration of “ whether the firing was justifiable or not,” we are of opinion, under all the circumstances of the case, from the apprehension which the soldiers might fairly entertain, owning to the number and conduct of the prisoners, that this firing to a certain extent, was justifiable in a military point of view, in order to intimidate the prisoners, and compel them thereby to desist from acts of violence, and to retire as they were ordered, from a situation in which the responsibility of the agent and military could not permit them with safety to remain.
From the fact of the crowd being to close, and the firing, at first, being attended with very little injury, it appears probable that a large proportion of the muskets were, as stated by one or two of the witnesses, leveled over the heads of the prisoners; a circumstance, in some respects, to be lamented, as it induced them to cry out “ blank cartridges,” and merely irritated and encouraged them to renew their insults to the soldiery, which produced a repetition of the firing in a manner much more destructive.
The firing in the square having continued for some time, by which several of the prisoners sustained injuries, the greater part of them appear to have been running back with the utmost confusion and precipitation to their respective prison, and the cause for further firing seems, at this prison to have ceased. It appears, accordingly, that Captain Shortland was in the market square exerting himself and giving orders to the effect, and that Lieutenant Fortye had succeeded in stopping the fire of his part of the guard. Under these circumstance it is very difficult to find any justification for the renewal and continuance of the firing, which certainly took place both in the prison yards and elsewhere, though we have some evidence of subsequent provocation given to the military, and resistance to the turnkeys in shutting the prisons, and of stones being thrown out from within the prison doors.
The subsequent firing appears rather to have arisen from the state of individual irritation and exasperation on the part of the soldiers who followed the prisoners into their yards, and from the absence of nearly all the officers, who might have restrained it, as well as from the grate difficulty of putting and end to a firing which once commenced under such circumstances. Captain Shortland was from this time, busily occupied with the turnkeys in the square, receiving and taking care of the wounded. Ensign White remained with his guard at the breach, and Lieutenants Avecyne and Fortye, the only other subalterns known to have been present, continued in the square with the main bodies of their respective guards.
The time of the day, which was the officers dinner hour, will, in some measure, explain this, as it caused the absence of every officer from the prison whose presence was not indispensable there. And this circumstance, which has been urged as an argument to prove the intention of the prisoners to take this opportunity to escape, tended to increase the confusion, and to prevent those greater exertions being made which might, perhaps, have obviated at least a portion of the mischief which ensued.
At the time that the firing was going on in the square a cross fire was also kept up from several of the platforms on the walls round the prison, where the sentries stand, by straggling parties of soldiers, who ran up there for that purpose. As far as the fire was directed to disperse the men assembled round the breach, ( for which purpose it was most effectual, ) It seems to stand upon the same ground as that in the first instance in the square. But that part which, it is positively sworn, was directed against straggling parties of prisoners running about the yards and endeavoring to enter the few doors which the turnkeys, according to their usual practice, had left open, does seem, as stated, to have been wholly without object or excuse, and to have been a wanton attack upon the lives of defenseless, and at that time unoffending individuals. In the same or evening more sever terms, we must remark upon what was proved as to the firing into the doorways of the prison, more particularly into that of No.3 prison, at a time when the men were in crowds at the entrance.
From the position of the prison and of the door, and from the marks of the balls, which were pointed out to us, as well as from the evidence, it was clear this firing must proceeded from soldiers a very few feet from the doorways; and though it was certainly sworn that the prisoners were at the time of part of the firing at least, continuing to insult, and occasionally to throw stones at the soldiers, and that they were standing in the way of and impeding the turnkey who was there for the purpose of closing the door, yet still there was nothing stated which could in our view, at all justify such excessively harsh and severe treatment of helpless and unarmed prisoners, which all idea of escape was at an end. Under these impressions, we used every endeavor to ascertain if there was at least prospect of identifying any of the soldiers who had been guilty of the particular outrages here alluded to, or of tracing any particular death at that time to the firing of any particular individual, but without success; and all hopes of brining the offenders to punishment would seem to be at an end.
In conclusion, we the undersigned, have only to add, that whilst we lament, as we do most deeply, the unfortunate transaction which has been the subject of this inquiry, we find ourselves totally unable to suggest any steps to be taken as to those parts of it which seem most to call for redress and punishment.

Here is a statement given by one of the Americans.
Enoch Burnham, a citizen of the United States, on his oath, saith: That on Thursday, the 6th, day of April instant, about half-past six o’clock in the evening, he went to the railing of the market place, and remained there about half an hour, when he saw a crowd of the prisoners making a noise, the. principal part of them were youngsters, full of mischief, and they came, some of them, between the two railings, and he saw seven or eight go into the market square, but there was no great body there; that at this time he saw some soldiers come down the square, and Captain Shortland with them, and the soldiers charged upon the prisoners, who retreated into No. 1 prison yard, without making any resistance; that this informant remained at the gate when the military began to fire, and at this time there was no crowd of prisoners within the gate—-there might have been forty or fifty men; that when the firing commenced he retreated into the prison yard; and lay down by the wall, and the prisoners who were about the gate also retreated; that this informant lay by the wall about five or seven minutes, when this informant went up by the barrack wall, towards where there was a hole, and the soldiers then began to fire from the ramparts of: the south wall, when he want to No. 7 prison, and got as far, as the steps, when a heavy firing again commenced from the wall, and this informant lay down to save his life for about four or five minutes, and then got into the prison, and was going through to go to his own prison, and had got to the steps, when the firing commenced from the platform next to the south corner; whereupon he retreated into No. 7 again, and went into the north end, and saw one prisoner in the. yard who appeared to be wounded, and he ran back against the wall and he saw several soldiers raise their muskets and fire at him, and he fell immediately, but this informant does not know who the man was; that this informant saw the wounded man lift up his hands towards the soldiers before they fired; that this informant did not see any stones thrown, but he heard some of the youngsters speak bout throwing stones; that he did not hear the word to fire given, and he was near the gratings; when the military first began to fire, they were at some distance from the gratings.

Here is a statement given by British Turnkey.
Stephen Hall, one of the turnkeys at the prison of war at Dartmoor, on his oath, saith: “That on the 6th day of April instant, about a quarter before seven o’clock in the evening, he went into the market square, and went to the lower gate, when he saw some of the prisoners come over in a body from the wall which separates the barrack yard from the prison, and they came to the gate next to the hospital, an1 forced the gate open; and went up towards the market square; that this informant was close by Captain Shortland in the square, and heard the captain desire them to go back, but they said they would not; that there were some soldiers at this time formed in the market square, and when the prisoners refused to retire they came to a charge, and then this informant went to the rear, when he heard a single musket fire; and at this time he had not heard any person give orders to fire, nor did lie hear any such orders given afterwards; that after the musket was fired he went towards the lodge, sand hear a several muskets fired, and shortly after he heard the captain call for the, turnkeys to bring up the. wounded, when this informant went down and assisted in taking up two wounded men, one of them in the market square and the other in the prison, and he also picked up one man dead in the market square, but he does not know the man; that when this informant saw the prisoners coming across the yard towards the gate, they were behaving in a very riotous manner, and this informant observed that they had some iron bars, and he thinks that three of the men had an iron bar each; that he did not see either of the men attempt to strike with them; and he .did not see either of the prisoners throw any thing towards the military; that this informant heard the a1am-be11 ring just before he saw the prisoners come across the prison and force the gate; that after they had forced the gate this informant persuaded the prisoners. to go back, but they refused to do so; that they made no complaints whatever in this informant’s hearing; that on the 7th day of April instant, he was at the lower gate, when he heard some person who were walking between the railing, and they were talking about a black man that was killed; and this informant heard the prisoners say, if the black man had not been killed he would have killed Captain Shortland, and that he had a knife in his pocket prepared to stab him; that there was no person present with this informant at the time he heard this conversation, and he does not know the prisoners who were talking together.
