not guilty, in loud voice, to the
charge Of threats against the old man.
"'Deed, jedge," continued Lemuel,
''he's nigh paralyzed me with worry.
He say he goin' ter lead er fas' life. and
he threaten ter knock my haid off if l

but, jedge, he drawed back; he drawed
back. He say ter me: I'll make yo'

marked to the court that his old father
was lying.
"Well, you'll have to give bonds to

piled the court. 'Look here, boy, If

nodding approvingly. Hes my own
