I took it and that she was going to put obeah on me and

then the policeman.

I then told her that she was

determined to do me wrong things when I did not take up

her money.

She was then standing in the same room I met

her in with my dollar in her hand and I was standing in

the same bar-room that I was in all the time. She then

was not open. I did not find the dollar. I then left the

shop through the front door and I walked home through the

same place which I came through. When I reached home I

asked me about the broom I was to cut for her. I said,

"I dod not have time to go up there". Then she said, "look

on him no where you get that blood from?" I did not give

no answer. I did not see her boyfriend, he was still

sleeping.
