Orphan boy recounts harsh days of unpaid labor
A 15 year old orphan Wesley Whitaker sat in Jefferson county jail charged with theft after claiming he was forced to work for two years for board. He describes being moved from the orphan home to a ranch, then to Morello, where he says he drove teams, milked cows, and did chores for meager pay, receiving only clothes and a cap in return. He insists he took only a small amount to escape and visit his mother, hoping to reunite with her.
