Per pro J. & Boucbard
Defense also offered In evidence and sub
mtted to the jury the power Of attorney given
by Bouchard to his son.
Witness resuming My first interview with
Vallade was at his boarding house; either
Nohlom or Labarie was with me- think
Noblom. Mr. Valnde was asked whether he
knew anything Of this case; he told us that
he knew all about it, and gave us the substance
Of what hO knew: am sure Labarie was not
present, Nothing was said about contract
to pay Vallade for 263 bales of cotton at that
time, Think he spoke of the 263 bales of cot
ton in Labarie's presence.
proposed to see Mr.. Peychaud. and get him
TO be q party to such a contract with Vallade
| as would give Vallade his money II we were
successful, Vallade was willing to help the
claim through, If he had assurance given Of
getting his money. vallade went with me
TO see Peychaud Don't think 1 ever went
to see Peychaud with Labarie. Don't
think any one but Labarie and myself
were there, Asked Peyschaud to make
not thinking 1t right to make such contract
with Valiade because he was to be witness.
Peychaud agreed to see that Vallade should
have a contract after he had mpleted giving
to such contract; don't think I ever told La
barrie that Peychaud had positively refused to
agree to such contract; my best recollection
is that never so told Labarie.
Peyehnud passed Washington. backward
and forward, am not aware that he ever
stopped think il was Taylor who told mo he
had heard that Peychaud was In Baltimore
went to Baltimore, but could not sec him
Taylor was the first to tell mo that Peychaud
was In Baltimore.
Taylor complained t6 mo of the want OF in
terest shown by Peychaud in the claim. Said
no had never seen him tPeyChaud Don't
think that Mt that time he had ever written to
Peychaud, nor until after the payment Of the
claim.
vallade think Is between 65 and 10 years Of
age Met Conrad about the time the judy
ment was paid. Did not at that time make
threats against Peychaud. Had O suit against
the estate Of Berpard and against Peychaud
to make them each pay to me my half OF the
Record Of the suit offered In evidence by

lection overrued but the evidence not to be
at present, but to come in with the
regular defense and not on the cross -examina- |
ton Of this witness.
Witness, resumng, said-This suit lost |
was chagrined at losing the case. After losing |
the suit said that Peychaud had acted In |
bad faith. l said that Il Peychaud did not pay |
