I sat there and drank it.
Afterwards the things that took place between
Mrs. Evelyn and me started coming back to my mind again.
When I was going to the shop I do not reall seeing Ethleen Thomas.
I cannot remember seeing a pan of water on the ground in Rabsatt's kitchen.
I remember seeing paper bags strewn on the grocery floor. I had paid Mrs. 5
Evelyn $1.00 for the ston I told her to keep the change and would come
back for another drinke I did not find that $1.00 after. I looked for it
in the cabinet in the grocery store. I was looking for the $1.00 because I
felt it was my belonging. I remember resting the bottle of stout on the table.
This table was near to the cabinet in the grocery.
I did not see a tin of ice-cream in the kitchen. When Mrs. Rabsatt
was accusing me of having stolen her money I was not pleased about it.
I cant recall what happened to the string. I cant recall what
happened about the knife. I remember putting the knife in my pocket before
that date because I usually cut bush broom with it.

When I left my home that morning I had no intention to kill Mrs. Rabsatt.
I went to buy a stout and then to go to the hillside.
After I heard the voice of my sister I recalled using the knife on Mrs.
Rabsatt. I gave her 2 lashes. I did not intend to kill her.
I was arrested and brought to Road Town Police Station.
On the following day, I remember making a statement to Sgt. Malone
I told him what happened becausing of questioning.
I have no explanation. for how this happened. This is the first time
I am standing in a Court. I do not have many friends. My male friends on
this island are Atwell and Ed. I used to communicate with Franzel now and
again.

I smoke marijuana.
Have smoked marijuana for the past 5 years. I
had smoked marijuana on the 17/1/77. Three of us usually smoke it and that
day we smoked about 6-8 cigarettes.
I do not know why I was lying on the floor of the cell.

I got along fine with Dr. Thomas when he visited me in prison. I
heard Dr. Thomas this morning. I vomited more than once and I feel he knows
about it.
