Courtroom farce and cousin Sally Dillard tale recalled
A Western editor notes a memory of Cousin Sally Lillard and Mose in a Nor Carolina court scene full of drunken testimony and scattered phrases. The dialogue follows a bearded witness and lawyers, detailing a fight on a swamp log and a prudent, if odd, exchange about a wife and a cousin. The piece weaves in other anecdotes of urban Boston and a country gentleman dealing with a livery stable bill tipped by family connections.
