and Grace says no in deed she hadent
had no time to sew her own close since
) yrs. ago when little Ed was porn
and Mrs.. Martin says she thot may De
the close was made before that ana
the reason she thot Grace must OF made
them was on acct. OF she never seep
nothink like them in the stores vile she
was shopping. So of corse Grace was
tickeled to deth like all wommen when
you swell them up bout there close
ard her and Mrs. Martin got long
f1ne but Mrs. Martin don't play cinch
so we set down and played rummy and
Martin insist 1t we should play for sol
a pit. to make 1t intrusting SO we played
Il vile and I loose S150 and Grace lose
$50 but it was worth the money the
fun we had.
GO after we was threw plain cards and
~ we was setting round drinking
bottle of home brew and all OF a sud
den they was a crash on the back porch
and I and Martin run out there ana
cat had knocked the garbidge pale over
and / called Grace to see who's cat ssas

the peopl that lives the next door 10
us on the other side then the Martins
lives on. And Grace says tae same cat
had been doing it right long becaVSe
all most evry A NJ. she found the pale
laying on the porch so l says why don't
they feed the cat at home ana sne
wouldn't half to go prolling a round the
neighbors hood to get some thlng 70 eat
and then Martin says may De the ram
iltons was sore at US and starved there
cat on the purpose so as she would come
over and undisterb US evry night ana ne
asst me il I'd gave Hamilton any reason
to get sore at me that would make him
pull Off a trick like that.
so says well may be Hamilton was
sore at me but he dident have no more
reason to be sore at me then me to be
sor at him becuse 1t was horse
peace SO Martin ast me to tell MIN
bout it so I told him we had gave

and Of the boys that come to the
party got to many drinks under his
belt and done the foxy trot out on the
side walk and Hamilton sent for the
rested for disturbing the piece and so
little vile latter to get back at him
I nxed it up with the sherifs office to
send / of the deputys out to Hamii-
tons house l p. NJ. when Mrs. Harnil-
ton was giveing party and plain action
bridge whist for money and the deputy
told Mrs. Hamilton she was arrested for
running a gambleing house and Of corse
