in which language they responded And what happened
was that after the trial had concluded
the Commander Don Valentin Leblanc said to
the declarant, that as he spoke and
understood a bit of Spanish he had named him
as Interpreter in this process and he
put him down as present in the trial so that he would
sign it; which the declarant declined to do
saying, that he not ask him to serve
as Interpreter because although
he spoke and understood Spanish it was very little and
badly, and that being a man of advanced
age he did not want to involve himself in
matters that could bring him some
distress to which the said Commander responded
that this was just a pure formality
and that he not worry, that nothing would happen
to him if he signed, and believing
this the declarant did so, and
