"Asked about the statement of the Indian women which we had read to him, as we had read to him the others that had been involved in the conspiracy, he said that it was all false and that he had never said anything about this, he says.

Asked about the statements of old César and Francois mulatto of Sr Goudeau and the conflicts [mentioned], he said that this was false, and that he had never said anything to Sr. César on this subject, and upon reflection he said that the pure truth was that the negros named [LHam] of Widow Barron Jean Baptiste of Widow Lacour and Antoine commander of the same, had told him that they were free, having decided to take their freedom by force"
