    cow she took a piece of the loaf and said "Leave it so". Every time she was asked a question she took a piece of the loaf and said "Leave it so". At last the judge told the guards to take her out that the poor woman's husband was dead and that she was out of her mind ever since.
    When she went out her lawyer who had pleaded for her case for her asked her for his money she took a piece of the loaf and said "Leave it so."
