He testified he made from 3.76 to 14.80 per day In orchard work, and freely admitted he "spent his wages for a good time." He fre quented beer parlors, with orches tras, and danced but did not Im bibe. "Beer Is bad for the health." he advised the court. The defendant also threw some light on the labor situation, declaring no money could be made by picking pears, because of the time lost In packing the lad ders from tree to tree. The missing "John Hoe" also drives used car, Olson said. The manner of Olaon caused the court to remark: "Don't try to laugh this matter off."
