Greenman was for about two years Porter in said Hotel & that during said time the said Greenman was remarkably attentive to his business & had the full confidence & respect of his employer as a young man of excellent habits & character.

And this Deponent further saith that the young man Freeman enjoyed an excellent reputation among his friends and acquaintances for honesty & integrity and was never as this Deponent believes charged with any criminal offence but on the contrary thereof seemed to be free from any bad habits — or associations —
