[page 756] 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?
