rent for two months, had intended to move
yesterday, and the few belongings he owned
were packed in boxes ready to be hauled
away, but at late hour in the afternoon
the wagon which Mayfield had hired to
move them had not come, and it is thought
that this added greatly to his discourage

in front OF him ii he and his wife could not
stay there all night, stating that he thought
