CHAPTER XXII
9/13

Ketch him workin' for his livin'.

He's in for four years for assault and battery; and when they turn him out of the jail, he puts up at a hotel and has the bills sent in to Murphy.
"Murphy don't have consideration for the prisoners, any way.

Positively refused to allow us anything else until they was gone.
