Image Caption: “She might as well tell it if he had had anything to do with killing the old man.” “I told her that George had run off and that she might as well tell it if he had had anything to do with killing the old man. She said that George need not have run off, for that he knew nothing about it” (Jefferson F. Jones, State of Missouri v. Celia, a Slave, C4496, 50 of 68); Missouri State Archives, Judicial Court Records: https://mdh.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/mocases/id/45.
