Jack Wonnell protested, "I never does lie: it's too hard to find lies for things when people comes an' tells you, or you kin see fur yourseff. Jimmy called me a liar fur sayin' Meshach Milburn was gone into the Jedge's front do', but we saw him come out of it, didn't we?" "Yes, that was so; but this yer one is an awful lie."

'Jedge, I says, 'that's what no jedge have ever did without soldiers since this war's been a-goin' on. An', brother, the jedge's words was yours, p'int-blank. 'All right, he says, 'then I'll have to do what no other jedge have ever did. An', brother," says I to the preacher, "the jedge done it shore. He jes laid under the couht-house fer two days whilst the boys fit over him.

Their victims were the whipping-post and the thumbscrews. Tom returned to say: "Dem done to'e up de cote-house and de Jedge's house, an' now dem goin' Bay Street too tear up de sto'es."
