The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Tom Sawyer, Detective by Mark Twain: it and you could see the judge didn't like it much.
All that the mud-turtle got out of Lem and Jim was this:
he asked them:
"Why didn't you go and tell what you saw?"
"We was afraid we would get mixed up in it ourselves.
And we was just starting down the river a-hunting for all
the week besides; but as soon as we come back we found
out they'd been searching for the body, so then we went
and told Brace Dunlap all about it."
"When was that?"
"Saturday night, September 9th."
