Alright, alright, rally can go, but stay in town down.
Need you to talk to the judge. Share my shall share,
mister yvin.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
A man shouldn't tell if he can't prove out and
he thinks he can.

So bad mistok, and maybe it is here here it
(15:46):
is man.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
I'll be pleased to eat.

You sure ain't no problem to feed.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I ain't won the first down over to.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You ain't trying like the joing the people I get
in here, moll by, can I get you'd think I
was feeding him.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Straight out of a hog pen.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
As long as you're fetching me free food, I won't
come playing nothing. Well, I had no charge for it,
That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I tell you the truth.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Then I I don't find it too easy to figure
you out for what scroll of you? Well, you seem
like a nice, decent, kindy fella, and you ain't no
bother tall in that sell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You ain't snarling and mean all awhile what I don't
aim to be. And yet you could go and do
a thing like killing that poor little sick lady out
there laying on what was maybe heard that bad?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
But you ain't talking about Tassie well sure being ailing?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Why you know that man Riley was bringing dark out
to see when he found it killed.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
He said she's sick, and so all the way well,
she couldn't hardly move no more?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Who told her?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
White?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Riley told her the course he is the one to know.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He was her husband, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Uh Chester, Well, I gotta.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Get on back.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I'm mindful of that.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
But I I figured you'd have to know about that
loose bar.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
What loose bar? That loose bar up to that window?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh my gracious, I certainly shouldn't nobody remember to take
a look at it.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You can climb up on that bunker, and.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It sure don't make no sense to have a loose
bar in jail with it about which one edit.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Man, Yeah, I hate to do this gesture. Listen here,
then let him let me go. Now, man, I just
got to tie you up a Chester. Oh, it's about it,
he felts. He'll have to do. You can't go into
a thing like this, burn.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
All that ought to hold. I ain't happy about this Chester.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You tell the marshal.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I was dripping black that.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I ain't used to being kept in And now I
got to move.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Out of here.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Oh, I ain't gonna do you no good.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
He'll find you, he'll bring you badger.
Speaker 5 (18:20):

in all.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Bet your dog on, bootie.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Well, we all have to move in our own way.
Speaker 3 (18:28):

Speaker 1 (22:32):
I know that as soon as I learned he was
spreading stories about how ailing she was, why she went ailing, mister,
she was a young strong woman and done all this
caring and fetching. I know it was him when I
learned that, And then it come to me while he
was doing it, so as he couldn't make like he
was away fetching the duck, and.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I bought it, Riley, there ain't no truth to it.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
If she'd give me, mister, I could make him tell
I ain't one for hurting creatures.
Speaker 5 (23:04):

Alright, alright, rally can go, but stay in town down.
Need you to talk to the judge. Share my shall share,
mister yvin.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
A man shouldn't tell if he can't prove out and

You sure ain't no problem to feed.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I ain't won the first down over to.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
You ain't trying like the joing the people I get
in here, moll by, can I get you'd think I
was feeding him.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Straight out of a hog pen.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
As long as you're fetching me free food, I won't
come playing nothing. Well, I had no charge for it,
That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I tell you the truth.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Then I I don't find it too easy to figure
you out for what scroll of you? Well, you seem
like a nice, decent, kindy fella, and you ain't no
bother tall in that sell.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You ain't snarling and mean all awhile what I don't
aim to be. And yet you could go and do
a thing like killing that poor little sick lady out
there laying on what was maybe heard that bad?
Speaker 5 (16:48):
But you ain't talking about Tassie well sure being ailing?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Why you know that man Riley was bringing dark out
to see when he found it killed.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
He said she's sick, and so all the way well,
she couldn't hardly move no more?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Who told her?
Speaker 3 (17:08):

Speaker 3 (17:11):
He was her husband, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Uh Chester, Well, I gotta.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Get on back.
Speaker 5 (17:19):

loose bar.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
What loose bar? That loose bar up to that window?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh my gracious, I certainly shouldn't nobody remember to take
a look at it.
Speaker 5 (17:33):

It sure don't make no sense to have a loose
bar in jail with it about which one edit.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Man, Yeah, I hate to do this gesture. Listen here,
then let him let me go. Now, man, I just
got to tie you up a Chester. Oh, it's about it,
he felts. He'll have to do. You can't go into
a thing like this, burn.
