Dehosition Of Commodore ShaW q I'm. 1Aaf7a.
Belt remembered, that this day, to wit !:
the 10th. day of April, ammo Domini, 1907,
personally appeared before me the subscriber,
one of the justices of the peace for the city
and parish of New Orleans, John Shaw, Esq.
captain in the U. States navy, and William
Tharp, Esq. who being first duly sworn on
the Holy Evangelist Of Almighty God, de-
clare and say, that on OF about the fifteenth
day of January last, 1907, passing from the
coffee house, about the hour of IL o'clock at
noon, they were accosted opposite the prlnci-
pal by Judge Provost of this place, who OBJ
served that he was happy to inform these de-
poncnts, that General Adair, the second IN
command to Col. Burr, had arrived In town
and was then at Madam Nourage's, that he
had Just waited on him, or had seen the man
who had created so much stir, who SAID Colo
mel Burr would be in town In three days, after
him, that it would soon be discovered IT the
constitution and Justice would prevail, or that
of the usurpation of power and tyranny mani
tested in the measures at present adopted.
Other remarks were made by the Judge in
tone and gesture discovering evident marks OF
irritation anu opposition to the measures OF
the officers of the government, and impressed
enc of these deponents with an idea that the
Judges object was to be personal with Capt.
John Shaw, and extorted reply that he Cap
tain Shawl knew no private character he obey
ed, and executed his orders without PARTIAL
ty, lad should always be alertto meet and ap-
prehend the disturbers of the peace and har-
mony of his government. These deponents
remained but few minutes with Judge Pre-
yost, and went to the lodgings of the captain,
where the deponents considered.it correct to
inform general Wilkinson, that general Adalr
was then in town, which captain Shaw did ny
sending his servant with a note, to gen, VII
k.nson.

And, in every rational view of the case, the
honest intention of Mr. Jefferson to go out of
