lumber business. According to the tes-
timony of Angelowitz, be hired the men
ID Berlin, but they we're going to Port
land, so he arranged to meet them there
and take them to Brownfield which be
did. He admitted that the men bad
been spending their pay In Portland,
and were in more or less intoxicated
condition. The amount OF his bill az
rendered was some over $22 90. The
time of the transaction was in June,
1912.
The testimony of Mr.. Hill was that he
had supposed that he was doing bust
ness with Mr.. Angelowitz's predecessor
in the employment agency, and that be
knew nothing of Angelowitz until he ap-
peared at Brownfield. The men were
not woodsmen, and he refused to accept
them, but did finally take two of them
TO his lumber campon trial, where one
of them worked few minutes and quit.
The other four did not 60 to work at al,
but left soon after arrival.
A. j. Stesrns for Angelowitz; Alton
