Priscilla's Diary - February 1876

   Things are moving way too fast for me. Johnny is healing and they have scheduled his trail to start in a couple of days. Snake said the Judge is due in tomorrow. Johnny seems to have given up hope of a favorable outcome. He is resigned to hang. I hate it. I want to scream, I want to fight. I just don't know against who. Against God maybe? No, I shouldn't say that. It's just so unfair! I know he was wrong, but he is a good man. He doesn't deserve to hang. It's the outlaw Holmes. He should be the one hanging! Well, I guess he'll get his chance. Snake finally caught him. He is in the jail house with my Johnny. The thought of it makes my blood boil! I have to do something, I just don't know what.
   Sally knows about Snake now. She figured it out. She knows about Joshua as well. Said that once she started looking for it, it was obvious. I made her promise not to say a word. I don't want them to know. They can't. I couldn't stand the hurt it would cause both of them. One day perhaps, but not now. Not with Johnny....... I cant even think about it. Lord, what am I going to do?
