And oh! my heart! wuz not my sufferin's with Lodema Trumble, a hard plow and a harrowin' one, and one that turned up deep furrows? But of this, more anon and bimeby. Wall, it wuz on the very next day on a Thursday as I remember well, for I wuz a-thinkin' why didn't Lodema's letter come the next day Fridays bein' considered onlucky and it being a day for punishments, hangin's, and so forth.
Edward, he don't like him to read the murders an' the hangin's, and them very interestin' things; but Bill read the other day in the paper how a man said George Washington had a big temper, an' could get as mad as mad as any thin'. But Bill, he said he'd heard Mr.
"O you ould villain!" said a stout Irish woman, "to try to ruin the poor b'ye. Hangin's too good for you." This was rather an extreme sentiment; but Haynes saw that he was in peril. He gave an unexpected spring, and, reaching the platform, sprang out, running up a side street. "Do you know him?" asked the detective of Frank. "Yes, sir." "How do you account for his hostility to you?"
Even ef ye does thet, hangin's a right shameful way ter die." But Parish Thornton shook his head. "Hit hain't hangin' hitself thet's shameful," he corrected the other, "hit's what a man hangs fer."

"Do you mean that you hang them without a court verdict on your own responsibility?" "That's the way, ma'am." "But doesn't the sheriff punish men who hang others in that manner?" she went on in tones of horror. His voice was quietly humorous. "Them sort of hangin's ain't advertised a heap. It's hard to find anybody that will admit he had a hand in it. Nobody knows anything about it.
I jest had to do it, I jest had to. There wuz no other way, 'cept to 'cept to an' I jest couldn't do that. Now I wish I had, oh, Lordy, how I wish I had! That wuz bad enough, but hangin's wuss.

"To h l with this new-fangled law," growled a rough answer from near the door. "Are we dependin' on this here new way o' takin' care of fellers that kills too many folks? If the Greaser done it, he's guilty, an' that settles it. Hangin's too good for a feller that'll kill a man in camp, an' then try to burn him up." "That's right!" "Sure!"
