Chapter 8: Before Flight

Ben: Runs headlong into crazy bullshit

Alex: Acts like she’s too sensible to run headlong into crazy bullshit, but is actually just as bad as Ben.

Here’s Ben waving to some girls as Grandpa Max tells a fishing story that he’s already told a hundred times. - Alex

They were laughing AT him, not with him, but I didn’t have the heart to tell him that - Gwen

Here’s Gwen prepping for finals; and keeping herself together way better than I could ever hope for, but that’s not the point of this. - Alex

And looking like a huge nerd doing it. You have to respect her commitment to her brand! - Ben

Here’s Kevin trying to support his girlfriend, even though he’s really bored. - Alex

Okay, he left in like ten minutes and took over my living room. Don’t give him too much credit. - Ben

The only recent picture of Alex in media — captioned “That Wayne Girl’s a Real Piece Of Work, Isn’t She?” Ben turned into Goop and slimed the journalist’s office. :( - Gwen

21 JUN 1882. Austin Daily Statesman.

MATTERS BRIEFLY NOTED.

The music of the hammer and trowel is heard in nearly every corner of the city.

Everybody should be forced, if compulsion be necessary, to keep their premises clean.

The vacation of the different schools has had the effect to give to the citizens large doses of small boys on the streets.

Many citizens in the north part of town complain that the streets are converted into a goat ranch by some one in that vicinity, who permits a flock of goats to run at large in the city limits.

ALEX WAYNE. The Rape Fiend Gets the Full Extent of the Law.

The grand jury returned two indictments against Alex. Wayne, both for assault with intent to commit rape, and yesterday he was arraigned in the district court. The first offense charged was committed on the twenty-second day of May, at a section house on Central railroad, about three miles from Austin, and consisted of an assault upon Miss Kjerster Stottenberg, a young Swedish lady. The Statesman has already given the particulars of this occurrence. The second offense charged was the assault upon Mrs. Annie Wallin, a young married lady, of the Decker creek neighborhood, on the 30th of May. This has already been extensively mentioned, and was the immediate cause of Wayne’s arrest.

A jury was empanneled, consisting of W. D. Patton,, foreman; W. I. C. Autrey, C. H. Buechner, Henderson Rollins, John Hughes, M. J. Thompson, W. R. Robinson, H. Holley, E. Hallman, John Pegg, Frank Allen and Jake Smith, and to which the fate of the ravisher was committed.

D. H. Hewlett, Esq., was appointed to defend the prisoner, and after consultation with his client entered a plea of guilty. Mr. Hewlett, in line of duty, asked for the prisoner that consideration which the plea of guilty is supposed to carry with it. County Attorney Moore stated that the crime charged was not only heinous in nature, but in this particular instance of a most aggravated character. Judge Walker then read the law on the subject, which places the punishment at not less than two nor more than seven years confinement, at hard labor, in the state penitentiary.

The jury, four of whom were colored men, then retired, and in about fifteen minutes returned with a verdict assessing the punishment at seven years, the full extent of the law. The proceedings in the second case were virtually the same as in the first. Judge Walker then passed sentence which, in the two cases, makes a term of fourteen years, and the prisoner, was remanded to jail to await the coming of the agent of the penitentiary.

Your results are epic! I’m having surgery with Yelland soon-hope my results are as good as yours!
