Crump had explained the situation to Foresta, who now told Bud. With bowed heads and troubled hearts the three sat in deep study as to what to do. The white people were under the impression that Bud had committed the murder. They had killed another man thinking that it was he.
"Do you regard yourself as having finished?" asked Earl after a few seconds of silence. "Sir," he continued, "if in this hour when I am strangled with the ashes of Bud and Foresta you feed me with a negation " He did not finish the sentence. "I understand you, Earl. I must offset your proposition with a better one. Foreseeing that you would demand this of me, I have prepared myself," said Ensal.

That day was to be a great day with them. The lynchers of Bud and Foresta were to be tried, but that was not what excited their interest. The Congressman from the district in which Maulville was located had just died, and his successor was soon to be chosen.
