settin' myself up as a lawyer.
:13:12
- What do you know about law, Abe?
- Not enough to hurt me.
:13:34

:13:36

- I got the law on my side.!
:13:41
I'll show ya,
y-you -you durned thief!
:13:44
Ah, gentlemen,
just hold your horses and sit down.
:13:50
Now, Brother Woolridge?
:13:52
Yes, sir?
:13:54
Brother Hawthorne here says you agreed
to furnish him two yokes of oxen...
:13:58
to break up 20 acres
of prairie sod ground.
:14:00
He did such.
:14:02
And that were to allow him to raise
a crop of corn on another piece of land.
:14:06
That's right. But he never done
one thing he promised. Not one!
:14:10
He claims further that when he talked
to you about these promises...
:14:14
you did
"strike, beat and knock him down...
:14:17
"pluck, pull and tear
large quantities of hair from his head...
:14:22
"and that with stick or fists
you did strike him many blows...
:14:25
"on or about the face, head,
breast, back, shoulders, hips...
:14:31
"and diverse other parts of the body...
:14:36
and with violence did push, thrust
and gouge your fingers in his eyes".
:14:41
Yeah.
I got witnesses to prove it.
:14:44
And for that
he demands $250 damages.
:14:48
Yes, I do.
:14:52
Well, Brother Woolridge,
what you got to say to that?
:14:56
You forgot to put in there about me
whoppin' him with a neck yoke.
