The doctor acted as his own lawyer, and the pock-marked man, whose name was Grimes, as the lawyer agin us.

You could see that crowd had made up its mind before-hand, and was only giving us what they called a trial to satisfy their own conscience.

But the fight was betwixt Grimes and Doctor Kirby the hull way through.
One witness was a feller that had been in the hotel at Cottonville the night we struck that place.

We had drunk some of his licker.
"This man admitted himself that he was here to turn the niggers white," said the witness.
Doctor Kirby had told 'em what kind of medicine he was selling.

We both remembered it.
