ROXY: I was born
Roxanna Stanton in
Tarboro, North Carolina,

ROXY: I was born
Roxanna Stanton in
Tarboro, North Carolina,
3
00:00:57,814 --> 00:00:59,381
when tobacco was king.
4
00:01:01,417 --> 00:01:02,819
During market time,
5
00:01:02,852 --> 00:01:06,856
the warehouses were full of
cured, bright-leafed tobacco,
6
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:10,894
and any little breeze
would fan that sweet,
strong smell,
7
00:01:10,928 --> 00:01:13,530
and seal it over
the center of town
like a jar lid.
8
00:01:16,734 --> 00:01:19,036
Daddy owned
the funeral home.
9
00:01:19,069 --> 00:01:23,173
He used to say, "There's
two things for sure
in Tar County."
10
00:01:23,206 --> 00:01:25,208
"Tobacco brings
money and people die."
11
00:01:45,295 --> 00:01:47,030
When I married Aaron Walston,
12
00:01:47,065 --> 00:01:49,033
we moved out to
his tobacco farm.
13
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:51,102
It was about ten
miles outside
of Tarboro.
14
00:01:51,936 --> 00:01:53,604
And I have to say,
15
00:01:53,638 --> 00:01:56,941
the isolation of that
little farm was something I
had not known before.
16
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:03,547
By the time I was 20,
our baby, Patty Estelle,
was two.
17
00:02:03,581 --> 00:02:05,984
And we worked hard
getting that crop
out every year.
18
00:02:08,887 --> 00:02:12,857
I didn't think much
about whether there would
be anything else for me.
19
00:02:12,891 --> 00:02:17,128
But then, the summer of 1937
changed my life forever.
20
00:02:17,161 --> 00:02:21,265
At that time, I didn't
understand all the things
that happened,
21
00:02:21,299 --> 00:02:22,767
but I knew they
were irrevocable.
22
00:03:00,005 --> 00:03:01,306
(PLAYING)
23
00:03:33,373 --> 00:03:35,408
When my grandmother,
Georgeanna, died,
24
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:39,545
I was as lonely as I
ever'd been in my life.
25
00:03:41,181 --> 00:03:44,818
Georgeanna had
raised me ever since
my mother died.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
27
00:04:04,906 --> 00:04:05,907
Sorry about
your grandmother.
28
00:04:08,042 --> 00:04:09,043
Thank you.
29
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,715
Are you gonna stay
at her house?
30
00:04:16,918 --> 00:04:18,953
No. I'm scared to
stay there by myself.
31
00:04:22,857 --> 00:04:24,525
Well, what about
livin' at your daddy's?
32
00:04:26,794 --> 00:04:28,695
His wife, Ruth,
33
00:04:28,729 --> 00:04:30,397
is my mother's
younger sister.
34
00:04:31,065 --> 00:04:32,066
I know.
35
00:04:34,201 --> 00:04:35,970
Well, I feel kind
of funny about that.
36
00:05:10,305 --> 00:05:13,308
What are you doin'?
Is Baby asleep?
37
00:05:13,341 --> 00:05:14,809
Yeah, Baby's asleep.
38
00:05:21,083 --> 00:05:23,919
I wanted to last
night and you just
shrugged me off.
39
00:05:23,952 --> 00:05:25,587
I had to get up at the
crack of dawn.
40
00:05:29,191 --> 00:05:30,192
Aaron...
41
00:05:31,159 --> 00:05:32,961
Sometimes I think
you're just doin' this,
42
00:05:32,995 --> 00:05:35,663
'cause you can't think
of anything better to do.

ROXY: Daddy hired
boys from all over
eastern North Carolina
46
00:06:21,677 --> 00:06:23,846
to work at the
funeral home.
47
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,549
When his friends
couldn't think of what
to do with their boys
48
00:06:26,582 --> 00:06:28,351
they sent 'em to
Mr. Will for a job.
49
00:06:31,989 --> 00:06:33,991
What do you say, boys?
Good mornin', Will.

I got that Clark Gable
picture at the theater.

Where he don't
wear no undershirt?

STROTHER: You won't see
that one, will ya, Will?
WILL: No.
56

BASS: How do you
expect me to keep
the theater running?
57
00:07:07,524 --> 00:07:10,760
Here comes a fella
lookin' for a job, Will.
What you wanna bet?
58
00:07:12,129 --> 00:07:14,464
No, I got
too many boys
here now, Strother.
59
00:07:15,465 --> 00:07:16,500
Don't matter.
60
00:07:16,533 --> 00:07:18,935
They know ya all over
eastern North Carolina
61
00:07:18,969 --> 00:07:20,437
for havin' a soft heart.

I don't have any
work, and room

BASS: He ain't
from Tar County.

STROTHER: I bet you he's
a walk-away from the CCC Camp.
66
00:07:51,502 --> 00:07:52,903
I'm looking for Mr. Will.
67
00:07:54,405 --> 00:07:55,406
Ask inside.
68
00:07:56,474 --> 00:07:57,475
I don't
work here.

00:08:15,426 --> 00:08:16,427
What are you doin'?
71
00:08:17,495 --> 00:08:18,829
Just waitin' here like
you told me.

00:08:49,961 --> 00:08:51,297

are here.

Hello, Mr. Tatie.
75
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,175
Hi there, Roxy. Aaron.
76
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:06,044
We're gonna ride over
to, uh, Eureka,
see Aunt Sally.
77
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:08,847
Thought some of y'all might
want a ride back to
Tarboro with us.
78
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,549
I believe I'll
just stay here.
79
00:09:10,582 --> 00:09:12,718
I got my new
seedlings just
getting started.
80
00:09:12,751 --> 00:09:13,752
But y'all come in.
81
00:09:15,587 --> 00:09:17,223
Roxy why don't you
and Baby go on in?
82
00:09:18,023 --> 00:09:19,024
Maybe we'll do that.
83
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:35,040
There's your
grandpa over there.
84
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:38,745
There's your grandma.
85
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:41,848
Yeah.
86
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,589

a cat under a collard.

We're just waitin'
for your daddy.

We're just waitin'
for your daddy.
94
00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:29,529
There was a wreck
out at the crossroads
last night,
95
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:30,863
and he had
to stop by.
96
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:33,633
Come on, Roxy.
I have something important
to tell ya, come on!
97
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:35,335
ROXY: What?
It's important,
come on.
98
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:43,009
ROXY: I grew up playing
in the backyard there.
99
00:10:45,077 --> 00:10:47,647
So what happened
to the coffin for
the Mr. Masterdoll?
100
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,148
Well, we haven't
played in those coffins
101
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:50,983
since Raider tried to
sail off the top.
102
00:10:51,018 --> 00:10:52,320
(LAUGHS) He did?
103
00:10:52,353 --> 00:10:54,488
CALLIE: Daddy's gonna
have him hauled away.
ROXY: Aw.
104
00:10:54,522 --> 00:10:57,057
ROXY: I had copied the design
for my playhouse
105
00:10:57,090 --> 00:10:58,892
out of my
weekly reader.
106
00:10:58,926 --> 00:11:01,762
And then built it
out of old coffins.
107
00:11:01,795 --> 00:11:04,932
Main thing my friends
at school wanted
to know was,
108
00:11:04,965 --> 00:11:06,667
had I ever seen
anybody dead?
109
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:09,803
Boo!
BOTH: Raider!
110
00:11:10,371 --> 00:11:11,372
Hey you.
111
00:11:13,207 --> 00:11:16,577
Callie and me
finally saw
a dead person.
112
00:11:16,610 --> 00:11:18,979
We heard at school
this man that got burned up
113
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:20,748
that they had him
down here.
114
00:11:20,781 --> 00:11:23,251
We pushed the door
open real fast,
115
00:11:23,284 --> 00:11:25,486
there was this little thing
lying up on the table
116
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,755
like a log out of
the fireplace.
117
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:30,123
We went flying up to
the front of the house,
118
00:11:30,157 --> 00:11:33,627
and then saw somebody sitting
on the stairs watching us.
119
00:11:33,661 --> 00:11:36,096
He wasn't like the other
funeral home boys.
120
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:38,366
He said, "You must
be Mr. Will's girl."
121
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:42,202
I told him I was
his littlest girl.
Roxy is his biggest girl.
122
00:11:42,236 --> 00:11:45,406
He said, "If she's any
prettier than you, she
must be real pretty."
123
00:11:48,342 --> 00:11:50,278
CALLIE: I couldn't believe
I was standing there
124
00:11:50,311 --> 00:11:52,145
talking to a grown
man like that.
125
00:11:55,683 --> 00:11:57,451
Who you got
in there, Will?
126
00:11:57,485 --> 00:11:59,787
Old Fate Renfroe.
You remember him?
127
00:11:59,820 --> 00:12:01,789
Poor old fella.
He got hit,
128
00:12:01,822 --> 00:12:04,992
broadside with a freight
train over here at
the Golden Weed.
129
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,127
Tear him up much?
130
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,329
Oh, yeah,
he looks bad.
131
00:12:09,263 --> 00:12:10,864
And I worked on
him near all night,
132
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:12,566
that boy, Jack, came
in and helped me.
133
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,034
He's good.
134
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,903
With his hands,
you know?
135
00:12:15,937 --> 00:12:18,640
He's cool about it too.
He was eatin' a...
136
00:12:18,673 --> 00:12:20,942
Bit-O-Honey bar
10 minutes after we quit.
137
00:12:22,611 --> 00:12:23,878
You gonna
keep him?
138
00:12:23,912 --> 00:12:26,348
Oh, I can't.
I can't, Strother, I...
139
00:12:27,716 --> 00:12:29,318
He'd be a natural,
you know...
140
00:12:29,351 --> 00:12:32,754
A real natural but, you
know, I got too many
boys workin' here now.
141
00:12:34,456 --> 00:12:35,657
Jack's a right
smart fellow.
142
00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:37,225
He, he reminds me
of somebody, but...
143
00:12:38,427 --> 00:12:39,694
I can't think who.
144
00:12:46,401 --> 00:12:48,537
(SCREAMS)
What the hell?
145
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:50,138
It's just Renfroe,

doin' sneaking up on
me like that?

over there?

could use dose of
Mr. Applewhite's Capudine.

you'd be afraid to say
"Boo!" to a goose.

in the middle of March,
157
00:13:32,647 --> 00:13:34,649
the old hearse
pulled up our drive.
158
00:13:36,518 --> 00:13:38,487
At first, I thought
it was Daddy
comin' to see me.

But it was Jack Ruffin.

I'm Jack Ruffin. Hey.

What do you want?

00:14:01,544 --> 00:14:04,346
I'm sorry. I thought
you knew I was coming out.
164

All I know is you're
somebody I've never
seen before in my life.

Well, Mrs. Walston,
166
00:14:16,158 --> 00:14:18,160
if your husband didn't
tell ya, I guess I will.
167
00:14:20,796 --> 00:14:22,031
I've come
to help out.

01:09:26,708 --> 01:09:28,977
how you met
and got to know
Jack Ruffin?
691
01:09:33,214 --> 01:09:37,085
He came out to help
my husband with the well.
692
01:09:39,888 --> 01:09:43,457
And then he started helping
with the tobacco crop.
693
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:49,262
Aaron told him
to come on and move in.
694
01:09:51,098 --> 01:09:53,000
Aaron would go down
to the barn one night,
695
01:09:54,101 --> 01:09:55,803
and Jack would go
down the next.
696
01:10:00,007 --> 01:10:01,975
I got up while Aaron
was still sleeping
697
01:10:04,611 --> 01:10:06,747
and I went down
to the barn.
698
01:10:08,949 --> 01:10:10,818
And then I got back
before he woke up.
699
01:10:13,586 --> 01:10:17,324
Now, Mrs. Ruffin, I'm gonna
ask you a little bit about
those nights down in the barn.
700
01:10:17,357 --> 01:10:19,092
I'm Mrs. Walston.
701
01:10:19,126 --> 01:10:21,661
But those nights down in
the barn were your idea,
weren't they?
702
01:10:24,297 --> 01:10:25,933
He asked me to
come down there.
703
01:10:25,966 --> 01:10:27,534
But they were your idea,
weren't they?
704
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,275
I wanted to go.
705
01:10:35,308 --> 01:10:39,179
So you were in no way forced
to go down into that barn
were you, Mrs. Ruffin?
706
01:10:40,647 --> 01:10:42,182
I am Mrs. Walston.
707
01:10:42,214 --> 01:10:44,984
Now, please describe to
the gentlemen of the jury
708
01:10:45,017 --> 01:10:47,854
just what happened
on the first occasion
you had intercourse with him.
709
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,361
You heard
the question, ma'am.
710
01:10:55,394 --> 01:10:57,529
Please describe to the
gentlemen of the jury,
711
01:10:57,563 --> 01:10:59,832
the first occasion on which
you had intercourse with him.
712
01:11:02,735 --> 01:11:04,370
My husband had gone off,
713
01:11:06,906 --> 01:11:08,040
and it happened
in the garden.
714
01:11:09,075 --> 01:11:10,176
In the garden.
715
01:11:13,913 --> 01:11:15,081
And the next time?
716
01:11:16,849 --> 01:11:18,217
I don't know.
717
01:11:20,486 --> 01:11:22,521
It might have been
the next day.
718
01:11:22,554 --> 01:11:25,657
And these relations
did occur every day
thereafter, did they not?
719
01:11:28,427 --> 01:11:29,695
Sometimes I was sick.
720
01:11:31,363 --> 01:11:34,801
But, when your
husband was gone,
and you weren't sick,
721
01:11:34,834 --> 01:11:36,235
it happened every day,
didn't it?
722
01:11:40,539 --> 01:11:43,575
Please, let the record
reflect that the witness
has nodded the answer, "Yes."
723
01:11:59,690 --> 01:12:03,594
For him, for the State,
724
01:12:03,628 --> 01:12:07,598
and for everybody else,
for God's sake,
don't turn him loose.
725
01:12:07,632 --> 01:12:12,237
But a life sentence
in prison would constitute
a far more severe punishment
726
01:12:12,270 --> 01:12:13,571
than the death penalty.
727
01:12:16,707 --> 01:12:20,278
Whatever damnation
comes out of this case,
728
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,581
she is the foundation for it.
729
01:12:27,318 --> 01:12:30,588
Now, gentlemen, you have
heard the evidence.
730
01:12:30,621 --> 01:12:35,060
After a comparatively
short time, this man
was living in the house
731
01:12:35,093 --> 01:12:37,395
with more freedom
than the woman's husband.
732
01:12:38,429 --> 01:12:40,565
She has been unfaithful
to her child,
733
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:42,767
unfaithful to her husband
734
01:12:43,568 --> 01:12:45,803
and unfaithful to her God.
735
01:12:45,837 --> 01:12:49,707
Not in the annals
of the history
of North Carolina,
736
01:12:49,739 --> 01:12:53,810
have we had a murder
of such brutality as to
compare with this one.
737
01:12:53,844 --> 01:12:57,915
Gentlemen, I want you to
return a verdict of guilty.
738
01:12:59,249 --> 01:13:02,119
I want you to send
Jack Ruffin
739
01:13:02,152 --> 01:13:05,222
and Roxanna Walston
to the gas chamber.

No!
742
01:13:10,194 --> 01:13:12,129
Wait.
743
01:13:12,162 --> 01:13:13,998
She never did say
she'd run off with me.
744
01:13:16,366 --> 01:13:18,135
I pushed her into
the car that night.
745
01:13:19,269 --> 01:13:20,470
She didn't know
what happened.
746
01:13:23,941 --> 01:13:26,376
And when I finally told her,
she ran away from me and hid.
747
01:13:29,813 --> 01:13:32,016
They said yesterday
that I do not have a heart!
748
01:13:37,321 --> 01:13:38,788
I do have a heart,
749
01:13:40,324 --> 01:13:42,226
and there's grief
in my heart at the bottom.

(CROWD GASPS)

RADIO ANNOUNCER:
We have a verdict
in the Walston murder case.
754
01:13:52,469 --> 01:13:56,006
The jury went out at 11:25
and they were back at 12:05.
755
01:13:56,039 --> 01:13:57,373
They found
Mrs. Roxanna Walston
756
01:13:57,406 --> 01:13:59,608
not guilty of
conspiracy to murder,
757
01:13:59,642 --> 01:14:00,876
and they found
Mr. Jack Ruffin
758
01:14:00,910 --> 01:14:02,878
guilty of murder
in the first degree,
759
01:14:02,912 --> 01:14:05,514
with no recommendation
for mercy.
760
01:14:05,548 --> 01:14:08,484
Handkerchiefs fluttered
as the judge intoned
the death sentence.

WILL: I know Kate would be
happy to have her.
763
01:14:13,356 --> 01:14:15,691
RUTH: That sounds just like
something a man would say.
764
01:14:16,692 --> 01:14:18,394
That's half
her trouble now.
765
01:14:18,427 --> 01:14:20,296
Listening to ghost stories,
all her life,
766
01:14:20,329 --> 01:14:23,799
and always doing something
some man thought
she ought to do.
767
01:14:23,832 --> 01:14:26,669
How can she
go to Virginia,
or anywhere else?
768
01:14:26,702 --> 01:14:29,038
She needs to learn
to do something first.

lower your voice?
770
01:14:55,798 --> 01:14:57,266
You know, this was
your mother's bed.
771
01:14:59,935 --> 01:15:02,605
That's why I brought
you in here.
772
01:15:02,638 --> 01:15:06,042
There's no better medicine
in this whole world than
lying in your mama's bed.
773
01:15:11,146 --> 01:15:12,580
It was our mama's bed, too.
774
01:15:14,449 --> 01:15:17,085
I lay right here myself
when I wasn't much older
than you are,

talking to Mama.
776

When I was in
that tourist camp
in Georgia with him,
777
01:15:30,465 --> 01:15:33,501
I didn't know how to say,
"No, I can't go with you."
778
01:15:36,104 --> 01:15:38,806
I never said "no"
to anybody in my life,

except for Aaron
on the Fourth of July.

Different things happen

Don't think
you're the only one

something bad
ever happened to.
783
01:15:57,292 --> 01:15:58,760
What really matters
is how you behave
784
01:15:58,793 --> 01:15:59,761
after it's over.
785
01:16:01,263 --> 01:16:02,330
And it is over.
786

Daddy, I'd like to
go to the farm today.
787
01:16:20,282 --> 01:16:22,617
You gotta get your
driving license sometime.
788
01:16:24,218 --> 01:16:25,452
I'm going to.
789
01:16:29,356 --> 01:16:33,860
And then, I think you
and me and Ruth ought to...

for a while.

Daddy, I know I won't
stay in Tarboro
for my whole life.
794
01:16:53,847 --> 01:16:56,317
But right now my child
needs her family.
795
01:16:58,352 --> 01:17:00,053
She needs a stable home.

I'm gonna stay right here
and I'm gonna ride it out,
797

and soul will see us through
