shoulders and I by the feet and we carried him into the box stall.
Then George went up to the house for a lantern. I waited for him at
the stable door. He came down with the lantern and went in the box
stall, felt Lew's heart, and then stood up and stamped him some more;
then he searched him.
In tussling with Lew I had gotten blood on my coat, pants, and shirt.
After George searched Lew, we left the stable, and I asked George
where the overalls were that the whitewasher had worn. George said he
thought they were up at the wagon house. We went there, but could not
find them. George did find an old pair of Lew's pants and a shirt. He
gave them to me and I put them on. While I was putting them on George
went in the house. I went in later, went to my room, put on another
coat, and went down to supper. George finished his supper first; got
up and told the Mrs. he was going to Gradyville after some sulphur for
the pigs. He then asked me if I wanted to go along with him. I said I
would. Then we went to the barn; George got two bags in the old horse
stable and put one inside the other. Then we went in the new horse
stable where Lew was. George set the lantern down and told me to take
hold of his arms and lift his head and shoulders. I did so, and George
slipped the two bags over Lew's head and body. Then George tied a
cloth around the neck overtop the bags. Then he told me to hitch the
horse Dick to the milk wagon. I did so. Then I returned to the new
horse stable. George then said we will carry him up to the wagon. I
had left it in front of the wagon house at the barn. George said, "We
had better take him up through the barn." George took him by the head
and shoulders and I by the feet. We carried him up through the barn.
When we got to the wagon, George got some bags and put them on the
floor of the wagon. Then we put the body in. Then we got a blanket and
threw it over the body. Then George got two shovels and a grubbing
hoe, and put them in the wagon. Then we drove away.
