When it had stopped, she claimed Goode had attacked her with a knife; she even produced a portion of it, stating the weapon had been broken durning the alleged assault. However, upon hearing this statement, a young townsman stood and told the court the piece had been broken off his own knife the day before, and that the girl had witnessed it. he then revealed the other half, proving his story. After hearing this, the judge simply scolded the girl for exaggerating what he believed to be truth.
