[page 875] Ans. That is all I know about it. By Mr. Butler. Ques. You said that Peter would work a little while and sit down a little while, whether he worked as long as he had a mind to and rested as long as he had a mind to. Ans. I think he did, there was no one there to tell him to work or to stop. That was when they were hauling in the coal this fall. Ques. Your business did not load you very often into the engine house. Ans. I used to be in there every day mostly; would go in there after dinner and stop till nearly time to go to work. Ques. What do you mean by working out his notice, had he been given notice to quit. Ans. He gave a notice he was going to quit; each one has to give a fortnight's notice before he can leave. He was a man 23 or 24 years old. By Mr. Fall. Ques. Was Peter a man of any general intelligence. Ans. I should not think he was by his appearance. He was not a person that would talk much. I judge by his appearance he was rather a dull man. Ques. Not as sensitive to rebuffs as people generally.
