Nathan asked him what he had done and Jim said he was going to take him to the house and have the Doctor whip him. After they got out doors Nathan broke away and run when Alex. Crisp, another son of the Doctor's, shot at him with his pistol. Jim Crisp got on to his horse and rode after him as far as the river where Nathan jumped in and swam across. Jim Crisp then came back and told Nathan's wife he had a good notion to kill her. Nathan was then about 21 years old. Jim Crisp said to Nathan he had a good notion to kill his whole family. I have never received a cent of money for my work.
