that he was a very hard drinker, and sometimes
knocked her down, stamped o. Ter and then
forced her with a to get up and sing
rbald songs to him. They had a servant girl
but he made his wife scrub the floors, saying it
too hard for the girl. He also made his
wife shine his boots, and perform similar
mental Offices for him. Other alleged fendish
tricks of his We're exposed, but the
worst only needs mention. In the

attic, and then set fire to the house and burn
her up. She fled, clad in nothing but her house
