Lincoln and Grove represent Melissa Goings, defendant, in People v. Goings, 
charged with murdering her husband, Roswell, with stick of firewood. During 
trial defendant disappears, causing Lincoln to be accused of encouraging 
her to depart. "I did not run her off," Lincoln is alleged to have replied. 
"She wanted to know where she could get a good drink of water, and I told 
her there was mighty good water in Tennessee."
