Holy Evangelists of Almighty God, that
sometime in the month of September last,
in a conversation which he had with Luther
Martin (late attorney-general of Maryland)
respecting col. Aaron Burr. Mr. Martin re-
marked, that col. Burr would be emperor of
Louisiana in 6 months. To which this de-
ponent replied^owi the character of colonel
Bunt he had too high an opinion of his ta-
lents and judgment to believe he would un-
dertake so mad a project as a separation of
the western from the Atlantic states. To
which Mr. Martin replied, You are mista-
ken ; I have no doubt but Burr will be de-
clared emperor of Louisiana in less than six
months, and as soon as he is, I shall pay him
a visi.. To which this deponent replied,
You have been in the habit, Mr. Martin, of
prosecuting a number ot persons for differ-
ent oflences—take care that you are not in
turn prosecuted for treason.
