I entered the car and reached my hand back to close the door. When I did that my father-in-law accused me of hugging my mother-in-law.

I didn't want an argument and I started to get out of the car. My father-in-law kicked me in the stomach then. That made me mad. I told him to get out of that car and fight, but he wouldn't budge." Mrs. File got out of the car.

Brown said, and his father-in-law told him then that they must drive to the edge of town to "fight this thing out." When they had reached a secluded spot a quarter-mile south of town.
