 , Before going into the army worked in different places, but did work. about two months under Will liam Hess, superintendent of the New England Lime Company at their kiln
 in the town of Bedding. My work
 was driving a horse and wagon draw ing wood. I hauled the wood from the woods to the kiln and drove a white horse named Jerry. I also worked at Georgetown in the wire mills before I went in the army and went there to get a job since I got back but did not get one I did not live home with my parents all the time before I went in the army, in- stead lived different places a good part of the time with Charles Bennett and his wife.
 When I was accepted in Bethel for the army I was sent to Camp DeTens where think I remained about three months. The picture I had taken and which MT. Waite has shown me is my picture taken of myself while at Camp Devens. 1 had my hair cut short then. My uniform consisted of pri- vate's uniform and hat, but when l came back from the army I had cap. When I joined the army I was given a number which I wore around lily hetky IiIe HuHlDeE OO IlOL Ie- member. We went in the train to a boat and I remember going over the water. When the boat landed on the other side we all were kept a long while some distance from the boat before we went to the front
 T think it was about two days after we started for the front that
 We got in battle, and a man close beside me was. I think, killed; at least he did not move; so another young man and I who had been talk ! ing about getting away from the army thought it was a good time to leave then. I thought of the plan sug ed to me by my friend and whc l been talking to me about leaving .rAe army and who did leave with me, to change numbers, so I took my num- 1 Der from my neck and put it on the dead mans neck and took his number and put it in my pocket. I d.d not take anything else from the dead man; this was about dark in the evening and my friend and myself then left where the dead man was
 and went back a piece and slept by a building. We hung around there all the next day until the next night when We began walking to try to get to a boat to get back to America. The young fellow that was with me did all the talking and talked to some { people. After walking 9 long way we got a ride on an automobile truck i to the boat. I do not know the name of the man who left for the boat with
 me. We both wore our uniforms
 until we landed back in New York i city After we got back in New York i We stayed two days and slept in a l little tent I don't know where the 1 camp was located, as I never was in i New York before.
 T left the man that had come over ! with me in New York, as the man 1 told me we must separate or the au- l thorities might get as and send us i back again, as We had been together l too long; then he gave me two dol
 lars and we parted and l bought a ! ticket on the train to Brewster, N. | I. When I got in Brewster l made up my mind to come to Danbury on ! the train, but instead got the wrong ] train and went to Patterson, \, Y,
 which is a little town north of Brew
 ster When I got off the train a, ;! Patterson I asked someone for job
 I met a young fellow and he said ] could get a job with his brother-in- law, Mir Black, who works on the | Wright farm.
 T got the job with Black and | worked on the farm about two weeks when I left and came to Danbury
 This, I think, was somewhere around Christmas time or thereabouts.

 Wright farm in Patterson where ]
 stayed about a month. I then re,
 turned to Danbury. I intended tC
