![]() But Ol' Man Dixon, he had a boy by the name of Jesse Dixon. So I know he made enough to where I could have mustard and biscuits three or four times a week. They used to come out, one or the other, usually my mother and feed me pretty regular. Just barely enough to get by on, I reckon. Didn't pay'em too much of a wage, didn't pay my daddy too much of a wage. Ol' Man Dixon was a very cruel fella, didn't treat his employees very well. My daddy worked down there at the sawmill, down at the planer mill for an old man named Dixon. So mostly, I just sat around out there in the shed. Made quite a bit of sport of me, made fun of me quite a bit. But the children out there, they were very cruel to me. Went to school off and on from time to time. I mostly just sat around out there in the shed, tinkering around with a lawn mower or two. My father was a hard working man most of his life, not that I can say the same for myself. I didn't have no floor out there but I had me a hole dug out to lay down in. So mostly I just sat around out there in the shed lookin' at the ground. They didn't too much want me up there in the house with the rest of'em. I lived out back of my mother and father's place, most of my life, in a little ol' shed that my daddy built for me. But I reckon what you is wanting to know is how come me had killed somebody so I reckon I'll start at the front and tell ye. 'Reckon the reason I'm in here is 'cause I've killed somebody. Reckon what you is wanting to know is what I'm a-doing in here.
