W-Warlock?

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

I've cracked "Warlock", just barely. Yup.:

...."Well, I know what you want---you want us all to hang
 for that in Rattlesnake Canyon. Don't you? You are like 
a hellfire-and-damnation preacher gone loco on bad 
whisky. All for a bunch of stinking, murdering greasers 
that wasn't worth the lead it cost to burn them down!" 

Warlock, pg. 112

I'd guess Deadwood too, thought that probably goes
all the way 'round, Deadwood pickin' up on Warlock
and runnin' with it, culture's bitin' its own ass again. . . .
