 Watson relates that "Naomi Wise, a little orphan girl, was being brought up by Squire Adams, a gent who had a pretty good name in the community as a morally decent human being.Omie, however, was seeing a ne'er-do-well named John Lewis, who never meant anything about anything serious, except some of his meanness.John Lewis courted the girl, seemingly until she became pregnant, and he decided that he'd get rid of her in some secret sort of way.
