Start: I knowed a feller onct [sp] killed a girl. He’d been keepin’ comp’ny with her and aimed to marry her. One day he found her up in the barn loft with another man. He didn’t do nuthin’ at first.
[... … …]
End: He went jist [sp] hog-wild, and found a piece of old rope in the toolbox of the mowin machine and tied her hands and feet with it and th’owed her right up on top of a stack of hay and set fire to it. Burned her to death. Yeow, it’s funny the things people do, like that.
