Witness statements: MULLEN states deceased was her husband. He had been 
complaining of being sick with pain and misery in his breast for about 2 
years, and had complained for the last 3-4 weeks that he was getting worse. 
Yesterday he got something from someone downtown and took it. MULLEN does not 
know what it was or where he got it, but he said it was medicine. After he 
took it, he said he felt better and went to work at Simpson's Mills. Also 
complained of pain the pit of stomach, had fainting spells, sick at the 
stomach and headache, and cold feet. RESPESS states says he went to the saw 
and MULLEN was lying down, but was not dead, but could not speak. He lived 
about 15 minutes longer. Henry PASTEUR, Mrs. MULLEN, & the boy Walter were 
there. It was 7:15 PM last night. He lay about 50 feet from the saw. JACKSON 
said MULLEN came to work about 7:00 last night. He had sawed about 2/3 of a 
lot, then he left his work and went to the water bucket. When JACKSON looked 
up again, he saw them all standing around MULLEN; he and H. PASTEUR took him 
to the other side of the mill & laid him down; he was not dead but only lived 
about 10 minutes. He said in a low voice I cant stand it. This was about 7:10. 
WALKER stated that he was standing by the slab bench and saw people by the 
water bucket & he went there and saw "Uncle Levi was down and rolled over 
twice and said "Oh Lordy I can't stand it," once only. WALKER then went away. 
PASTEUR and Mrs. MULLEN were there; his wife had come to fetch his supper. 
PASTEUR was at the other side of the mill, and saw Mrs. MULLEN coming with a 
bucket with MULLEN's supper. She went over to the water bucket; when PASTEUR 
got there, he was lying on the floor. He said Oh me I can't stand it. JONES 
stated she/he knew nothing at all; was downstairs putting wood under the 
boiler.
