and continued in their employ until
March 90, 1906 that on or about that
date defendants told plaintiff that un-
less he turned over to them all the
money he possessed they would have
him arrested and would disgrace his
family by claiming that he stole the
money from their store; that because
of poor health, nervous collapse and
the dread of public comment he gave
them all the cash he had, $S5.
The complaint further alleges that
defendants compelled plaintiff to give
them also $37 owed him by Mr.. Nc
Dermott. and that he was made to re-
linquish $113 due him from defendants
for wages. He claims he was also COM
PEELED to give defendants a bill of sale
of two horses, wagon and harness.

the sum of $235 and interest, for the
return of the horses, wagon and har-
ness, for the agreement and bill of
sale and for his costs
