after that the police done put questions to me bout what did happend an i told em best i could that it werent abe that done nothing wrong , it was the others that tacked us but they dint seem to give my say so no credince seeing how it was just a black man on this side and the reverend butts boy that was on the other side , but in the end they cided to just right the whole thing off as a dispute and self-defence between the bunch of em , an that it 'd probably be best if abe movd hisself outta town once he got outta the hospital cuz thered be a lotta folk aroun that wouldnt take too kindly to a black fella that 'd tacked a pack of white boys .
