Farmhand Testimony in Minnesota Case About Missing Letters
Herman Riester of Waba saw a mysterious farm hand begin work on July 6 and claim letters from Daniel Blake Russell were lost after the stranger departed. Andrew Schwartz testified that letters to his father Valentine Russell disappeared after another farm hand worked in harvest. Benjamin Jones identified the claimant as Russell, but the court barred rebuttal. William Bacon of Nantasket testified the claimant is not James D Rousseau and described a scar on Rousseau's ear from a Hogansburg incident.
