tween old man Eudy and his wife
about a bible which the old miscreant
had ordered his son, boy of sixteen,
to burn. Mrs. Eudy told her son she
would whip him if he destroyed the
bible, but he did so, and she stepped
out to get a switch, and while gone
her husband told the boy to look be

and to knock his mother in the head
