- February 4, 1835.
THE STATE OF ALABAMA, Chambers county.
The examination being continued by Nathaniel H. Greer, commissioner, &c., in the case (No. 15) of an alledged fraud practiced by Sandford Thornton, the locating agent, on the west half of section 12, township 20, and range 25.
Interrogatories propounded to Joseph Humphries, in the above stated case, and his answer thereunto annexed.
Interrogatory. Relate what you know going to show fraud in the above transaction, or any acts of the locating agents not in conformity with the treaty with the Creeks of March, 1832.
Answer. I know the Indian Sofootka, who is said to have been located on the above described land, which was the improvement made by Malcom McBride, on which there was no Indian settlement, and the Indian located on the place was said to have lived five miles from this place, and other public land between his place of residence and the improvement of Malcom McBride, who would have been entitled to a pre-emption on the said land had it not been for this alledged fraud.
---Joseph Humphries.
Sworn to and subscribed before me. G. D. Hooper, J. P.
Interrogatory propounded to Allen Humphries, in the same case, and his answer thereunto annexed.
Interrogatory. Relate what you know showing fraud in this location.
Answer. I can make no further statement in relation to it than has already been made by the first witness Joseph Humphries, whose statements I know to be the fact, all but the statement of there being other public land between his residence and his location, which I do not know, as I have never examined the map for that particular place.
---Allen Humphries.
Sworn to and subscribed before me. George D. Hooper, J. P.
