Disclaimer and WARNING NOTICE, AND STATEMENT TO GUEST VIEWERS OF MY STORIES.

This special statement is to anyone who views and reviews my fanfiction site stories using the fanfiction website

*Especially the GUEST reviewers*

This past Friday of March 11th 2019. I received a very threatening post, and vulgar comment from a disgruntled ex member from my Facebook Little House on the Prairie page.

I DO NOT, and WILL NOT TOLERATE any threats there and here on this site.

After receiving this threat I immediately began an immediate investigation and have positively identified the person who has made this vulgar despicable, cowardly threat.

I'm putting the person on NOTICE! IF you make another such a vulgar threat to me EVER again. Not only will I report you to the Facebook authorities, but I will report you to the FBI for a criminal investigation. Making threats is a serious offense. You made threats against one of my people on Facebook that was one of the reasons why you was expelled.

I will NOT TOLERATE ANY THREATS of bodily harm!

Because of this person I was forced to close down my page here, wiping out hard work to share my stories with other little house fans.

Now I'm putting them back up with this message on top and bottom of the each chapter of my stories.

To the "person" I'm also watching you from a 2nd AND 3RD parties!

I DON'T stalk, troll, or bully anyone on this web! However, I don't take NO shit from anyone who tries to ruin something that I built and WANT to share! Why don't YOU use your talent to share and NOT be disgruntled!

So to the GUEST reviewer! CEASE AND DESIST!

This is your ONLY WARNING!

Chapter 10: Sylvia Webb vs. Irv Hartwig pt-5

(Laura's testimony :)

In the schoolhouse/church in the town of Walnut Grove in the morning of Monday. The criminal trial of accused rapist Irv Hartwig for the sexual assault of resident Sylvia Webb is continuing. Now with Laura Ingalls Wilder who is Sylvia's teacher taking the stand. She has just sworn the oath to tell the truth.

Judge Parker: Mrs. Wilder tells us how you know Miss Webb?"

Laura: "Well I'm her teacher here at school. She's one of my Students."

Judge Parker: "How is she at school?"

Laura: "She's one of my best students, bright, smart."

Judge Parker: "What made you a where something was wrong with Miss Webb."

Laura: "Well at recess I was inside doing papers and my brother who is also my student Albert Ingalls was helping me and we heard screaming and we immediately went outside to see what it was. We saw Sylvia screaming and hitting Willie Oleson and two other students. I slapped her and she quieted it then I took her to Doctor Baker our town doctor."

Judge Parker: "What did the Doctor say?"

Laura: "After the Doctor came out I asked him how was Sylvia he told me that she wouldn't tell him what was wrong. He asked me what happened at school, and I told him she was screaming and hitting it seemed some of the boys must have been teasing her and I also said none of the boys struck her when he asked why she was hitting them. Also he told me that SOMEONE had hit Sylvia because her body was much bruised, then Mr. Webb her father came in."

Judge Parker: "and?"

Laura: "He came to take Sylvia home, as he heard what had happened. told him about the bruises on her body, but he was in a hurry to leave with his daughter and they left the office. Doc Baker told me {that wasn't like Mr. Webb} and I agreed with him that Mr. Webb wasn't telling the truth that was for sure."

Judge Parker: "Mr. Ingalls said in school Miss Webb was sick in school a few months later."

Laura: "Yes she collapsed in school and we took her to Doc Baker. He told me and my brother that Sylvia was with child and we were shocked. Albert mostly, he was devastated and Doc Baker assumed that they….but Albert said he didn't and ran out of the office. We both believed him afterwards Doc Baker called Mr. Webb and told him the news over the phone. Mr. Webb came to pick up his daughter and wouldn't talk to either of us and he wouldn't let Sylvia talk to us either. Also we found out later that Mrs. Oleson had listening in on a telephone call and knew that Sylvia was pregnant and told her son and almost everyone else in Hero Township. Albert was very upset about this he confronted Willie who told him calling Sylvia a tramp. Albert punched Willie and then ran home."

Judge Parker: "Is there anything else you want to say Mrs. Wilder?"

Laura: "Yes, your honor about the accused, he was a member of the town school board here."

The crowd gasps at this, and then Laura continues.

Laura: "On the day that Sylvia said she was attacked, before school there was a special board meeting. Mrs. Oleson called it because she thought Sylvia was doing something to attract the boys to her the past day at her house. She wanted have Sylvia be blamed for it, but my brother told my Pa the truth about the whole matter and I came to Sylvia's defense and told the board any action should've been taken against the boys not Sylvia and the board dismissed the meeting and I apologized to Sylvia for this trouble."

Judge Parker: Did Mr. Hartwig say anything about the incident of Miss Webb and the Boys? And who was at the meeting?"

Laura: "My Pa, myself, Mrs. Olson, Mr. Oleson, Doc Baker, and Mr. Hartwig, and from what I saw Mr. Hartwig didn't say anything at the meeting."

As Laura was giving her testimony some spectators was taking in all that was said. Harriet Oleson bends her head down knowing that she was in a way responsible for Sylvia's dilemma. Hector Webb at the prosecuting table also lowers his head briefly, but raises it up to see his daughter looking again at him, but she understands the pain he must be feeling and still holds his hand. Irv Hartwig the defendant still says nothing, but the testimonies are surely damaging his case. His attorney looks at him but Hartwig makes no motion. His lawyer can't object to this latest testimony.

Laura: "That's all I have to say about this man your honor."

Judge Parker: "You may leave the bench Mrs. Wilder."

As Laura leaves the bench she looks at Sylvia and smiles at her as Sylvia smiles back. Laura thinks that maybe soon Sylvia will be her sister-in-law. Laura would be proud to call her that. At the same time in the jury row her husband Almanzo smiles, he is proud of his wife standing up for her student who wants justice

Judge Parker: "Does the prosecuting attorney want to call more witnesses for testimony?"

Adam Kendall: "Yes your honor. I would like to call Doctor Hiram Baker to the stand."

Judge Parker: "Doctor Baker please take your place here on the witness chair."

Doctor Baker walks up to give his testimony.

To be Continued.
