johnson came 10 live with us. Al
the time there was no bargain wheth-
er he should pay or not, but at the

board and lodging. After he paid that
+, amount / said TO myself that II was
insufficient. Beef was high. butter was
high, all provisions were dear. and l
asked IL Johnson could not pay $3.50

said to him that / considered $3.50 was
fair for board and lodging and wash

be $40 altogether. And he consented.
He remained a boarder for about four
months, TO the tine when the boy was
killed. He worked on the plantation
all that time except Sunday. He did
not work every day until the death OF
the boy. He ceased work at Christ
mas. He told me on the Saturday he
was not going to work because he was

Mrs. Wharton, at the afternoon ses-
sion, told about Johnson's conduct
from the time he knocked off work
until the day little Simeon was killed

to the house and entertain his friends
She objected, didn't like anything like
that in the house. There would be

J children should not hear. She told him
TO take the wine elsewhere and drink
it, and when he got over his drunk
he could come back
She said Johnson might have drunk
liquor outside but she never saw him
intoxicated. On her refusal to allow
him 10 bring the wine, johnson told
her she was "mean and especially on
the Lords Day'-referring to Christ
mas. II told him / would give him
his fill of food, but as to liquor OF
whisky j would have nothing to dc
with it," Mrs Wharton testified.
