On my knee I dropped and shot him, shot Rogers as he stood. Again Jeffrey Whiting leaned forward smiling.
To escape the over-wrought citizens, the sheriff, assuming charge of Van, dragged him on top of a stack of lumber, piled three feet high before a building. The cry for a rope and a lynching began with a promptness that few would have expected. In normal times it could scarcely have been broached.
