Pt.7
A Promise/A Favor/A Savior
It wasn’t long before, the circuit court judge made his way to Dodge…Taylor Breckinridge was still in Dodge so he insisted to represent Kitty, they had one more ace in their corner,. Judge Brooker, just happen to be the circuit court judge this time of year. This still didn’t make Kitty feel any more at ease.
This was now all anyone was talking about …Most people defending Kitty,.. Knowing she wasn’t the type to shoot anyone in Cold blood.., then some most the up-tight prudish ol’ biddy’s… that never like her …mainly due to her business? You could see the debates, some trying to convince others.., come’on…
Miss Kitty had done a lot for the folks in this town,.. Put herself out there for a lot of us… then one of the ol’ biddy’s added sarcastically… she sure does put herself out …for every and all the men.. in this town!
And doesn’t care that they are family men. Then a husky voice ,.. In the crowd said,.. That right …
She doesn’t just help certain people,… Miss Kitty is a Good and Decent woman!… let me draw your attention to some things here…Hal?.. You and you wife fall on hard times quite often,…who was it ,..sent food to you and fabric and notions for the Misses.. For her to keep the kids in clothes…as well as she did
For My family… God Knows we’ve been in need. And you ladies… yeah you bunch .. Always with your heads together… and noses in the air… who is it provides for your church socials… and orphans funds..?
I don’t see you shunning her then!… and when those nasty Dog Soldiers came to town,… Burke?. .and Jonas’. .and several other of you…? I don’t need to do roll call here… Miss Kitty , was willing to Die for you ‘all… Now land Sake people! What is wrong with you’all? I for one respect Kitty Russell,.. And know
That …whatever happened ? She did not kill a man in cold blood! You could hear a pin drop ..it was so quiet…. Well, None of us were there.., so less’ we judge? Then a light huff,.. And if she didn’t have men in her room… Well Mrs. Pry…, if you woman feel that way about your men … maybe you sure be taking better care of them at home!.. If they had something …suddenly…Mother! Come you’ve said enough…
Let’s go have your visit with Miss Kitty,… the children will get the supplies….
Sitting in her Office, going over her books,… a light tap on the door,… it’s open Sam…
What is it Sam? It’s me Miss Kitty! Turning in surprise…Bess! Please come in sit….what brings you in..
Can’t I come and see a good friend?.., you might want to rethink that? Now you stop that Kitty Russell!
This is all going to go away… you’ll see!…can I have that in writing? ..then she broke a slight smile.
Bess this is a nightmare. Miss Kitty, this may not be my place, but , what happened that night?
Oh, I don’t know Bess! Have you talk to Doc? Well, I told Doc, two weeks ago ..about running into Mrs. Kinkade and her girls…and that I thought something was wrong… Nodding,.. Yeah, I know ..Doc told me that….that’s when he asked me to ride out there with him to check on Mrs. Kinkade and the girls?
Miss Kitty , Doc’s not saying .,..Kinkade came to my room…we argued .. Then he was dead…!
Oh, Bess Please… then another knock interrupted them… Kitty?… Oh Matt ..Come in…
Hello Marshal…Mrs. Ronniger!…well, I best be getting over to the feed store and getting my family home?
Thanks for stopping by Bess ,..it was good to see you… the two Hugged.. And Bess left the room…
Matt, so what can I do for you Marshal? Drink?…sure… thought maybe I could take a lady to supper?
Oh, Cowboy.., don’t think that such a good Idea… Yes, Kitty it is… I’ve never known Kitty Russell to hide
From anyone… and beside.., haven’t seen much of you lately …taking her by both hands.., Honey…
