well towards Sweetzer and he was heard to remark
more than once, that "he would use him (SweetzeD

ming directly through Poydras street market, when
they reached Roma CampbelPs house and were
about passing, Creswell took hold OF Sweetzer by
the shoulder saying damn you | have got you
now," turned him facing and knocked him to the
ground Pond intertered, as Creswell was a much
larger man, when Scott, friend Of Creswe, also
interfered The fightbecame general-Creswell got
Sweetzer down again, had him by the nose in fact

stabbed Creswell. his own life depended on that
move Creswell and his friend Scott were large,
smart men. Sweetzer is not more than five feet six,
Pond Is also very small. They were tried together
to deprive them of each others testimony but were
honoraby acquitted by twelve men, whose standing
Mayor Beard was foreman of the Jury, which con-
sisted of merchants, of first standing in New Or
leans; they received the warm congregations of all
which that court room contained on the day that
they gave the verdict, and it has been approved by
all, with the exception of the deceaseds friends,

fed.
