ROUSSEbUS SWEAR
IN RUSSELL TRIAL
TESTIFY THAT DICKINSON, N. D.,
CLAIMANT TO RUSSELL FOR
TUNE is A BROTHER.

Boston, Jan. 12.-william Rousseau,
a member OF the family of that name
from Brasher Falls. N. Y, who APP
peared at the Middlesex PROBATE court
To-Day as witness in sur-rebuttal
against the petition OF Daniel Blake
Russell, was asked by Attorney
Simpson in cross examination If he
was under the influence of liquor.
Rousseau roughly intimated that ii
was none OF the examiners
business, whereupon Judge Lawton
promptly called him to order and
reprimanded him, saying that no such
answer would be allowed in his court.
Edward Rousseau was the first Wit
ness today. He seemed to be more
sure of the claimants identity than he
was last week. He said he was sorry
to see his brother with that crowd, for
he feared they would do him harm.
He admitted that he knew his testi-
mony might cause "Jim" to be pun
ished, but he declared, nevertheless,
that he would not deny his brother
for anybody.
Sees Claimant and Cries.
The witness asserted that when last
fall he saw his brother through the
glass doors of the court room he had
cried all the afternoon to think that
he could NOT talk to him.
William Rousseau, another brother,
was the next witness. The first ques-
ton asked of him was:
who is this man?' indicating the
claimant.
That is James DeIbert Rousseau,
my brother" replied the witness.
Under cross examination by ALtor-
ney Simpson, Mr.. Rousseau said he
had always wanted to see his brother
since The first came to Boston.
Stays Away From Claimant.
81 never called at the hotel" said
he, ito see Jim, although 1 wanted to.
Detective Armstrong said could not. y
He declared, however, that fourteen
years ago he parted with Jim" on
friendly terms.
When he was told that his testimony
did not agree with that given by him
last fall he said that the records must
be in error. 1t was here the question
of drinks was raised.
All Of the members of the Rousseau
family have testified heretofore that
the claimant was a relative of theirs.
They all, too, have admitted they
were paid for coming here to testify.

through Mr.. Calhoun's agency that

these matters; and so | was chosen
as the commissioner to negotiate a
peace with Mexico.
This honor later proved to be a
dangerous and questionable one.
General Scott wanted no Interior
ence of this kind, especially since
he knew Mr.. CalhOun's influence In
my choice. He thwarted all my at
tempts to reach the headquarters
of the enemy, and did everything
he could to secure peace of his

for myself, l was told to return to
Washington. At that time | could
not make my way out through the
lines, nor, in truth, did l much care
to do so.
A certain event not written in
history influenced me to remain for
a time at the little village of Guada-
lupe Hidalgo. Here, in short, l re-
ceived word from a lady whom |
had formerly known, none less than
