"are false, because he did not land in these places there he replies.
Asked where he had bought the [eight pairs of weapons?] that had been found in the canoe, he says that the jailer in front of the prisons of New Orleans, J La Peique, had sent them to him by way of his negro on board the canoe, he had been in it before they were in it.
Having nothing more to say and having heard his declaration he says it to be the pure truth that he is thirty years old and not knowing how to sign"
