A quote from the "sworn" testimony of each Ewell

"He stood up and pointed his finger at Tom Robinson. '—I seen that black n_g_er yonder ruttin’ on my Mayella!'" (Bob Ewell)

"I was sittin' on the porch, and he come along. Uh, there's this old chifforobe in the yard, and I-I said, 'You come in here, boy, and bust up this chifforobe, and I'll give you a nickel.' So he-he come on in the yard and I go in the house to get him the nickel and I turn around..." (Mayella Ewell)
