At the Courthouse

This was taken at the county courthouse. When Joe David Pounds was tried for murder, these eight girls cut classes to attend the trial. Gilbert Smith showed up, and they slid down from their seats to the floor and tried to crawl out without being caught. It didn't work, and they were suspended from school for several days. After one day, Ann Kassen went to Mr. Smith and begged and cried. He was so flustered by it all that he told her they could come back to school the next day.
