fifty acres and is said to be constantly in
trouble with her help, suits against her
for wages being no new thing. She hired
Mocha through It New York agency

month. Mrs. Anderson claims that he
signed a year’s contract at .8 per month.
At any rate Mocha, having received no
pay. left on June 6 and brought suit.

Mrs. Anderson, claiming that through
Mucha’s leaving her she had been oom-
pelled to make eight trips to and from
New York to hire other men, put in a
counter claim oi $14. In addition. she
put in a claim for $10 for scrubbing
person. She proceeded cooly yesterday to
state that Mocha was so unclean that it
took herself and her adult daughter ten
hours to cleanse him.

She stated unblushingly that they put.
him through a regular and . thorough
course of soap, water and scrubbing
brush. She did not materially change
her statements under cross-examination
