Womack that she and Mr.. cattle had
been intimate friends for ten years
is refuted by ]. Wymon Brady who
has worked for Battle since 1871. Mr..
Brady says that Mr.. Battle told him
that he had only known the Womack
woman about eighteen months. and
that when he met her then she was
in the workhouse and he (Battle) vas
asked to pay her fine which he did.
Mr.. Brady said he knew that for over
five months Mr.. Battle had endeavored
to impress upon the woman the fact
that there could nothing more than
an ordinary friendship between them,
but that she was persistent in her
demands.

a few months he worked for the rail
road company. This did not appeal
to him as he had a genius for bust
noes activities. He quit r%ailroading
and went into horse trading and the
wood and coal business. He followed
this for some time, but eventually
gave up the coal and wood business
and centered all of his energy anC
business acumen on the livery bust
ness and dealing in horses. He made
this business a great success and a
