DENTON CROUCH 20

when denton reached the sherriffs office and walked in there was two other men standing in the office. will was behind a desk writting. through the door of the cell block came the doctor. shakeing his head. " i should have left the bullit in that scum what he did to that girl was inhuman. i just saved his life and all he could do is cuss me. i would have saved the county the trouble of trial." " you did right doc, the judge says he is getting bored so we need to save one once in a while. " he looked at the two men standing there " ok come sighn these statements as to what happened out there." looking aat denton he said "write out your side of it and ill turn the whole thing over to the judge." denton went to the other desk and started filling out a sheet of paper with his side of the story. even going to the extent of explaining he had the victom being cared for. " do you think we can get that girl to come down here and fill out a complaint?" will asked denton. denton laid his pen down and thought for a moment"maybe, shes been abused by that bum for a whole year. its a wonder he hasnt killed her. ill see about getting her down here . at the very least ill have her do a deposition at the boarding house with witnesses present and get it notarized. that big bum needs to take up residence in yuma." the two witnesses both agreed before leaveing. will started stacking up the paper works and putting them in a file folder. denton sat quiet at the desk for a few moments then turned to will," ime trying to work a deal with the bank, if it happens ill be quiting. if i keep doing this i wont be a very good law man. you all have been damn good to me but i just dont think i can keep doing this much longer. i hope you understand." will sat there and listened until denton had finished " just give me a heads up before you turn in your badge. and in the mean time lets clean up this deal by getting the girls statement.i wont argue with you."
