Translation
he did not appear as attesting witness at
the declarations of the said Blacks, nor did he
understand well what they said as he has
said, why did he authorize the proceedings
with his signature contributing to a falsehood he
said: that he put his signature down out of respect for the
Commander who was His Superior and who ordered
him to; but without understanding that
this would lead to falsehood nor taking into account
that this was a matter that could have bad
consequences; because the declarant
is a man ignorant of judicial
matters, and he does not understand trials and
he responds--
Asked: Why he did not say
the same in the declaration that he gave on the
Post of Punta Cortada before me the
present Scribe and in that which was taken from him
the declarations of the said Blacks, nor did he
understand well what they said as he has
said, why did he authorize the proceedings
with his signature contributing to a falsehood he
said: that he put his signature down out of respect for the
Commander who was His Superior and who ordered
him to; but without understanding that
this would lead to falsehood nor taking into account
that this was a matter that could have bad
consequences; because the declarant
