declaration on the back of page thirty five
which for his edification was read in this
hearing, he said: That it is true that the declarant
was present when Jorge Bergeron brought
his Black Petit (“little”) Francois to the Commander and
he heard what he told him: the said Bergeron who
allowed him to question him but that the declarant
did not hear or understand the questions

he saw some of the Blacks enter and leave
when they were led to give their
declarations but that he did not hear
