JY>>>>>>> lawn one day as "a warning to
others";  His 22YO daughter
 JY>>>>>>> came out of the office like she was shot
from a cannon and
 JY>>>>>>> quickly determined which way the wind was blowing...
 RY>>>>>> Like a cannon? like a hound on the scnt...
 RY>>>>>> It's a myth that Louisa was urban..
 JY>>>>> But Marta was wearing shoes when she ran from the sheriff's
 JY>>>>> office to the bonfire, wasn't she?
 RY>>>> Only because it was required due to the condition of the gravel
 RY>>>> in the street..
 JY>>>>> I thought it especially neat that the sheriff waited until
 JY>>>>> there was a West wind and the smoke all blew across the river
 JY>>>>> into Fort Gay, WV. The town was stoned for a week..
 RY>>>> How could you tell it was any different ?
 RY>>> ISTR that the leaf count prior to it being stored in the
 RY>>> basement of the jail and the leaf count of what was destroyed
 RY>>> after that trial was /considerably/ different....
 LB>> Nobody tried to pass off bay leaves, eh?

 RY> no, indeed, /this/ was the /prime/ sutff, carefully cultivated, and
 RY> worth a lot, even in 1978 dollars..

Stop it, you're making me weep at the thought........  :-/  Mother Natures
