Later he tangled me in the courts he beat me out of property an' last by convictin' me of rustlin' cattle he run me out of Texas."

Just tells you how it all happened an' then asks you whether you'd be such a skunk as to even think of convictin' the girl for what she did. The judge says it's all right, far as he's concerned. We'd have it to-day, only Moll's got to have a new dress an' bonnet an' such-like before she can appear in court. All you'll have to do, Kenny, is jest to set back, look wise an' let her tell her story.
And that's not all, either. There's no captain on this side of New York who's goin' to buck against the whole Tammany machine an' poke into this Penfield business.

But I'm warnin' you that if you ain't got any witnesses to prove your charge, you ain't got no show of convictin' him. An' Lawler's standin' is pretty high in this country, Warden an' don't you forget it!"
