sonally to tho defendant or his wife"
Mr.. Huntington states also hat tow
ard the end OF Narnum's employment
'he exhibited irritation. bad temper and
III will. performed his services In an
unwilling and Objectionable manner "A
not considerate in his department and
actions. and so conducted himself AS to
n n offend defendant and his wife,
and became personally Objectionable to
them"
1t is alleged hat while the Hunting
tons were IN California In the spring
and summer of 1915 Earnum FIRE
ouent!y absented himself from the homo
of the defendant for days at a time
without obtaining permission and neg
lected the duties OF his position"
Mr.. Huntington says that in the sum
mer of 1915 Varnum went to the defcn-
dant's country place at Throgg's Neck.

proposed to absent himself and aban-
don all his duties for six weeks In order
