The trial judge, a jurist of 76 with stand-up collar around his wrinkled neck and a toothpick poised thoughtfully in the right-hand corner of his mouth, nodded encouragingly. The crowd, native to that end of Virginia which is just across the Cumberland Mountains from Kentucky, solemnly waited to see what the "Gov'ment" would do to a gal who stayed out late and killed...
