Transcript

I don't believe that's our ring. Hi, Dogy's Lumb, I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum down, Storm. This is Lumb and Abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Great excitement in Pine Ridge.

Lumb and Cedric were to appear in court yesterday on a counterfeiting charge, as we look in on the little community. Oh, morning Abner.

Any news about Lumb here? No, squaring, hear the thing about him or Cedric, be the one. I just talked to my savage pop of all ago. He's awful worried about that boy. His woman's almost sick in bed over Cedric disappearing that way.

Well, one can hardly bring the good woman, Abner. I can't for the life of me see what Cedric expected the game by breaking out of jail. Well, he won't happen. He never knows what he's doing.

I know he wouldn't have did it if he'd know what he's doing something wrong. Well, no, he's a good boy. I'll vent you there, sir. He's just a little... Well, uh... Well, Caleb thinks he's already been home, because yesterday, this cover this car has been took out of the garage.

And here's the cannonman. Yeah, he ought never to have did it. You don't suppose that Cedric and Lom are going... Lom was missing quite a while before an old Cedric had broke out of jail.

I think Lom is more likely hiding than one of them old caves up there on Piney Mountain summers. Well, wherever Lom are going, Abner, This is the worst mistake he's ever made. He was an innocent man.

I admit, the evidence was definitely against him, but still he was innocent. And now by running out this way, he's made it look as wide as he ever does. I just wonder if I'll realize how serious a thing he was doing.
