The sheriff did not think it necessary to recognize anybody in particular on such an occasion; the question of identity sometimes comes up in the investigation of these extra-judicial executions. "We 're a committee of citizens and we want to get into the jail." "What for? It ain't much trouble to get into jail. Most people want to keep out."
