('Get me some oil of clover." And then what?)
Then I would get me some business powder. And if I know the law's name - he is the only one that would understand my business, see - I would take me a piece of paper, understand that, and I would write his name down nine times, see and I would fold it, you know. And after I fold it and I would take it and I would take me a lamp: If I had electric light in my place, I would get me a little lamp at the Ten-Cent Store and I would put it in that lamp - put his name in that lamp and I would burn it. That would keep him away from me. That business powder, I would put all that together and fold it up, you know, and take me some little piece of flannel and stick that in my lamp in a secret corner, see, and burn my lamp on it.
(Well, now, would you put this little package inside the lamp?)
In where you put the coal oil in the lamp and drop it down there, but I have it sewed up, understand so it could not get out.
(The name, this oil of clover and this business powder [three ingredients]
I see.)
