She had bruises on her arms. She showed me her neck. There were definite finger marks on her gullet. Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god?

So I dropped my kindling and I run just as fast as I could but I run into the fence. When I got loose I run up to the window and I seen him with my Mayella.
A: I run around the house trying to get in but he done run through the front door just ahead of me. But I seen who it was all right.
I seen him. And I run in the house and pulled Mayella up and I run for Mr. Teagues just as quick as I could. Q: Folks were doing a lot of running that night. Let's see now, you say that you ran to the house, you rant to the window, you ran inside. You ran to Mayella. Since you were doing all this running why didn't you run to the doctor?
