From the Pirates Lafitte by William C. Davis.
This book contains a statement made by Andrew Hunter Holmes made November 19, 1813 during the War of 1812 in the United States vs. Jean Lafitte, Case #0574, MAFW.
Holmes gave several statements, a deposition and submitted to cross-examination.
A copy of the November 19, 1813 deposition is at www.doasteach.org.
Unfortunately, it wasn't transcribed to print and it was too hard to read, but evidently Holmes had dealings with the famous pirate.
