coat.
Q. Suppose instead of putting on a coat
you had taken off one, wouldn't he have
let it stay that way? A. If I had laid
it down he would probably have taken it
up in a few moments.
Q. Is that merely your opinion? A. I have
seen him act that way in regard to
other things; when they were taken away
from him that way he used to go and
take them and put them on. I remember
especially in regard to a pair of mittens
I gave him. When he got through
wheeling coal I used to take them
and lay them up. He would watch
where I put them and go and put 
them on.
Q. About what time in the year was it
that you gave him mittens? A. I hadn't
been there a great while, along the coldest
of the weather, Dec. or Jan. It was
after I had been there a month or so.
Q. You say you dont know what attendant
had charge of him? A. I don't know
anything about it.
Q. Did you ever complain to anybody about it?
