herself, and would kill them; after that, witness went to their house
to say they were not afraid either of him or her, or of their threats
to kill her husband and her; witness had six big chickens which ran

returning at night; and one by one they began to jump up against the
chimney and eat the soot, so that they all died one after the other,
