Journal #6: perspective of Judge Talyor

It's the night before the big case and I'm nervous and I’m in sort of a predicament. don’t want to do the case like other cases I don't want to do this like any other case but I'm the only judge here in this town. I woke up and I got dress in my judge robe and headed down to the court house. When I was heading down to the town a lot of people where coming in from all over the town. I have to go get there before it gets crowded. I could tell it is going to be a hot and long day today. When I got there Atticus and Tom they were talking amongst themselves and Mr. Gilmer was there too. When I walk pass them and I said hi and kept walking to the judge chambers. When I got there I look over the papers on the case and I filled my cigar case up. I heard everybody start to come in the courtroom so I got ready to go out. When Heck called me out I walked out. The case started and I just sat there and pulled out one of my cigars and started to chew on it. It was Heck on the stand as the first witness testimony. He said that he was on his way home when he got a call form Bob Ewell that his daughter was raped and that he needed to be their right now. So he went there as fast as he could. When he got there he said that the furniture was everywhere and that Mayella was on the ground with bruises all over her, he also described the injuries and said that she had a black eye on the right side of her face and he also sad that the injuries where mostly on the right side. Then Bob Ewell was a pauper came up on the stand and gave his testimony. He said that he went hunting, and when he got back he look through the window and, he saw Tom with his daughter and he was taking advantage of her, so he ran in the house and scared off Tom. He also said that he ran to Heck, and didn’t call the doctor for his daughter, and Atticus ask if Bob agreed with the injuries that Heck said he said yes, Atticus also asked him if he can read and write he said yes and then Atticus asked him if he can write his name and he did and he is a lefty and Mr. Gilmer asked if he is ambidextrous and Bob said he wasn’t. I was stealthy when I change my cigars.I always indulge with my cigars and how many I go through a day. Then it was Mayella's turn on the stand and she said that she said that she didn't want Atticus to do what her dad did to her, and I scratch my head.I cleared my throat and said that Atticus has no intentions in hurting you. She said her side of the story and she said the Atticus was mocking her, and I said the he wasn't mocking her and I asked her what is the matter with her. I saw that Atticus was asking questions irrelevant to Mr. Gilmer and I saw his game plan. Then Atticus was done questioning and then Tom came up to the stand to tell his side e of the story and then like 30 minutes after he got up some people left from the balcony floor.
