"‘They jumped on my feet. They slapped my ears till I couldn't hear. They put the glare in my eyes and held the lids open till I thought I was going blind and all the time somebody I couldn't see kept hollering right into my ear at the top of his lungs. I got a pivot tooth now in place of one some ham-handed law cracked out, but I aced it out. Years later in stir I used to wake up thinking they were starting on me again, but I aced it. I aced it till one of my fluffs heard a radio broadcast 'n sent me a lawyer. That was when my real troubles begun.’"
