File also contains summons, deposition, affidavit, answer and judgement. Summons written by Thomas S. Kennedy. Deposition taken by Louis Moreau Lislet for the defendant and called "interrogation" in document. Answer written by Moreau Lislet. Affidavit of Faisandieu sworn before Justice of the Peace B. Cenas.
