alleges is due her for services rendered
Myers as a domestic. The defendant
resides on the West mountain with his
wife and family. Mary Bartosch came
to this country with Mrs. Myers when
she was eleven years of age. Her
father placed her in the Myers house
hold and the agreement. it is alleged
was that she should be boarded and
clothed in consideration of whatever
work she was able to perform.
The Myers say they treated her in
exactly the same manner they did their
own children. When she was sick they
cared for her, they provided her with
clothing, pocket money, etc, and gave
her an opportunity to attend school.
The girl is now nineteen years of age.
Mrs. Myers testified yesterday that
several years ago she told the girl that
If she wanted to go to some other place
where she would receive wages she was
Mt liberty to do so. The girl said she
was satisfied with her home and did
not want TO leave it.
A year ago Mary left the Myers resi-
denCe and entered suit for wages. She
says that several years ago she had a
talk with Myers, at which he agreed to
pay her wages, but did not fix the
amount. He said she was not old
enough to handle money, and he would
pay her such amounts as she wanted
for pocket money and put the remainder
in the bank for her. All of the testi-
