The young man. when he was out of the house, told the widower right then. He threatened the old man. You old son-of-a-whore. when I catch you again I'm going to kill you ’ That would stand up in court now. So where the young man threatened to kill him. the wid- ower was pretty nasty in the mill I was on the same shift he was And there was an old fellow, used to work there When he didn't have nothing to do he would sit down and read The w idower would go out and give him a broom, and make him sweep the floors. Oh. he pushed him and shoved him. and this old man. he was about 65 years old, but you could work, them days. The old man got mad at the w idower.
