them pass thro the gates at
the weighing machine walking
very fast I did not know
any of them. About 10 or 1/2
p 10 Oclock I saw men
returning I saw the Pillinger
with them walking back
from toward Newport
He had nothing that I saw
with him I asked what
he wanted down along

not know I asked him
if he was not satisfied
with one wooden leg
or did he want two
He laughed & I left
him & he went on
