Today two men by the names of Merrill Brown and Abram Hamilton offered to pay me to join them in working for a circus in New York City . Once we got to the city I found that the circus was not there and I was to go with them to Washington where we would meet up with the circus. When i was in washington we had a a couple of drinks. Soon I felt sick and retired into my room were some people came and got me and told me i was to go see the doctor. On the way to the doctors I passed out and when I woke up I was in a small dark room in chains.
