Ivan Mironov's commercial method consisted in buying from the stores a cord of wood and dividing it into five cartloads, and then driving about the town, selling each of these at the price the stores charged for a quarter of a cord. That unfortunate day Ivan Mironov drove out very early with half a cartload, which he soon sold.
After that he worked for two years in the mines, and made money enough to buy two horses. These two had been stolen by Ivan Mironov. "Tell me where my horses are!" shouted Stepan, pale with fury, alternately looking at the ground and at Ivan Mironov's face. Ivan Mironov denied his guilt. Then Stepan aimed so violent a blow at his face that he smashed his nose and the blood spurted out.
And he remembered his money, his shop, his house, the buying and selling, and Mironov's millions, and it was hard for him to understand why that man, called Vasili Brekhunov, had troubled himself with all those things with which he had been troubled. 'Well, it was because he did not know what the real thing was, he thought, concerning that Vasili Brekhunov.
He fell without a word to the ground, and then shouted, "Devils, wild beasts, kill me if that's what you want! I am not afraid of you!" Stepan seized a stone out of those that had been collected for the purpose, and with a heavy blow smashed Ivan Mironov's head. IVAN MIRONOV'S murderers were brought to trial, Stepan Pelageushkine among them.
He had a heavier charge to answer than the others, all the witnesses having stated that it was he who had smashed Ivan Mironov's head with a stone. Stepan concealed nothing when in court. He contented himself with explaining that, having been robbed of his two last horses, he had informed the police.
