shoulders [Music] back are you in love with Jack Ruffin why didn't you go to your husband's funeral you really know this guy Jack my wife Mrs W did you murder your answer the question understand BFF please read the confession I Stay home all day Saturday and Sunday while the won were gone I dug the grave on Saturday about 3:00 in the afternoon I used the shovel which I got from the walston's house I left the shovel at the hole I hit him in the back of the head with the shovel knocked him out the first leg he was lying down on his face when I hit him the second time I had been sleeping with her no use to say I love her and will die loving her I had intercourse with her from June in a way she knew I killed him in a way she didn't she wanted to run off with me but she couldn't because of her husband so I killed her husband now Mrs Walston would you tell the gentleman of the jury how you met and got to know Jack Ruffin he came out to help my husband with the well and then he started helping with a tobacco crop Aaron told him to come on and and move in Aaron would go down to the barn one night and Jack would go down the next I got up while Aaron was still sleeping and I went down to the barn and I got back before he woke up now miss Ruffin I'm going to ask you a little bit about those nights down in the barn I Mrs Walston but those nights down in the barn were your idea weren't they he asked me to come down there but they were your idea weren't they I wanted to go so you were in no way forced to go down into that Barn were you Mrs Ruffin I am Mrs Walston now please describe to the gentleman of the jury just what happened on the first occasion you had intercourse with him you heard the question ma'am please describe to the gentleman of the jury the first occasion on which you had intercourse with him my husband had gone off and it happened in the garden in the garden and the next time I don't know it might have been the next day and these relations did occur every day thereafter did they not sometimes I was sick but when your husband was gone and you weren't sick it happened every day didn't it please let the record reflect that the witness has nodded the answer yes for him for the state and for everybody else for God's sake don't turn him loose but a life sentence in prison would constitute a far more severe punishment than the death penalty whatever damn Nation comes out of this case she is the foundation for it now gentlemen you have heard the evidence after a comparatively short time this man was living in the house with more freedom than the woman's husband she has been unfaithful to her child unfaithful to her husband and unfaithful to her God not in the annals of the history of North Carolina have we had a murder of such brutality as to compare with this one gentlemen I want you to return a verdict of guilty I want you to send Jack Ruffin and Roxanna Walston to the gas chamber no wait she never did say she'd run off with me I pushed her into the car that night she didn't know what happened and when I finally told her she ran away from me and hid they said yesterday that I do not have a heart I do have a heart and there's grief in my heart at the bottom well hold her up here I'll get watch your head Ruth we have a verdict in the Walston murder case the jury went out at 11:25 and they were back at 12:05 they found Mrs roxan Walston not guilty of conspiracy to murder and and they found Mr Jack Ruffin guilty of murder in the first degree with no recommendation for Mercy ankers is fluttered as the judge in ton the death sentence I know Kate would be happy to have her that sounds just like something a man would say that's half her trouble now listening to Ghost Stories all her life and always doing something some man thought she ought to do how can she go to Virginia or anywhere else she needs to learn to do something first could you are your voice you know this was your mother's bed that's why I brought you in here there's no better medicine in this whole world than lying in your mama's bed it was our Mama's bed too I lay right here myself when I wasn't much older than you are talking to Mama when I was in that tourist camp in Georgia with him I didn't know how to say no can't go with you never said no to anybody in my life except for Aaron on the 4th of July different things happen to different people Roxy don't think you're the only one something bad ever happened to what really matters is how you behave after it's over and it is over daddy I'd like to go to the farm today you got to get your driving license sometime I'm going too then and I think you and me and Ruth ought to we ought to talk about you getting on a train heading up to Fredericksburg staying with a Kate for a while Daddy I know I won't stay in Tarboro for my whole life but right now my child needs her family she needs a stable [Music] home I'm going to stay right here and I'm going to write it out just the same as you and Ruth and our whole [Music] family [Music] I
