little woman-Fords mother. One eye was
badly bruised.
The kindly face of Sheriff McCulloch was
comforting. Prosecutor Roscoe had departed
after informing the lad that he might be
able to ask for a suspended sentence, altho
he would have to file a charge of second
degree assault against him.
'Ford always has been a good boy" said
the mother. She was brave. She choked
