GDG- mighty good water in Tennessee

[Dennis Lawrence]

Hello,

         To reply to my own post.

        At first glance this seems to be a case of Lincoln as a typical 
slick lawyer.  However, I wonder if the guy did need to be killed with a 
stick of firewood and Lincoln applied frontier justice as he saw it.

Take Care
