What
were
they
going
to
put
them
on
the
stand
for
?
To
tell
about
Roberta
's
life
before
she
got
to
going
with
him
,
maybe
?
And
that
Grace
Marr
,
whom
he
had
seen
often
but
met
only
once
out
there
on
Crum
Lake
,
and
whom
Roberta
had
not
liked
any
more
.
What
would
she
have
to
say
?
She
could
tell
how
he
had
met
Roberta
,
of
course
,
but
what
else
?
And
then
--
but
,
no
,
it
could
not
be
--
and
yet
--
yet
,
it
was
,
too
--
surely
--
that
Orrin
Short
,
of
whom
he
had
asked
concerning
Glenn
.
Gee
!
--
he
was
going
to
tell
about
that
now
,
maybe
--
no
doubt
of
it
.
How
people
seemed
to
remember
things
--
more
than
ever
he
would
have
dreamed
they
would
have
.
And
again
,
this
side
of
that
third
window
from
the
front
,
but
beyond
that
dreaded
group
of
the
Aldens
,
that
very
large
and
whiskered
man
who
looked
something
like
an
old-time
Quaker
turned
bandit
--
Heit
was
his
name
.
He
had
met
him
at
Three
Mile
Bay
,
and
again
on
that
day
on
which
he
had
been
taken
up
to
Big
Bittern
against
his
will
.
Oh
,
yes
,
the
coroner
he
was
.
And
beside
him
,
that
innkeeper
up
there
who
had
made
him
sign
the
register
that
day
.
And
next
to
him
the
boathouse-keeper
who
had
rented
him
the
boat
.
And
next
to
him
,
that
tall
,
lank
guide
who
had
driven
him
and
Roberta
over
from
Gun
Lodge
,
a
brown
and
wiry
and
loutish
man
who
seemed
to
pierce
him
now
with
small
,
deep-set
,
animal-like
eyes
,
and
who
most
certainly
was
going
to
testify
to
all
the
details
of
that
ride
from
Gun
Lodge
.
Would
his
nervousness
on
that
day
,
and
his
foolish
qualms
,
be
as
clearly
remembered
by
him
as
they
were
now
by
himself
.
And
if
so
,
how
would
that
affect
his
plea
of
a
change
of
heart
?
Would
he
not
better
talk
all
that
over
again
with
Jephson
?
But
this
man
Mason
!
How
hard
he
was
!
How
energetic
!
And
how
he
must
have
worked
to
get
all
of
these
people
here
to
testify
against
him
!
And
now
here
he
was
,
exclaiming
as
he
chanced
to
look
at
him
,
and
as
he
had
in
at
least
the
last
dozen
cases
(
yet
with
no
perceptible
result
in
so
far
as
the
jury
box
was
concerned
)
,
"
Acceptable
to
the
People
!
"
But
,
invariably
,
whenever
he
had
done
so
,
Jephson
had
merely
turned
slightly
,
but
without
looking
,
and
had
said
:
"
Nothing
in
him
for
us
,
Alvin
.
As
set
as
a
bone
.
"
And
then
Belknap
,
courteous
and
bland
,
had
challenged
for
cause
and
usually
succeeded
in
having
his
challenge
sustained
.
But
then
at
last
,
and
oh
,
how
agreeably
,
the
clerk
of
the
court
announcing
in
a
clear
,
thin
,
rasping
and
aged
voice
,
a
recess
until
two
P.
M.
And
Jephson
smilingly
turning
to
Clyde
with
:
"
Well
,
Clyde
,
that
's
the
first
round
--
not
so
very
much
to
it
,
do
you
think
?
And
not
very
hard
either
,
is
it
?
Better
go
over
there
and
get
a
good
meal
,
though
.
It
'll
be
just
as
long
and
dull
this
afternoon
.
"
And
in
the
meantime
,
Kraut
and
Sissel
,
together
with
the
extra
deputies
,
pushing
close
and
surrounding
him
And
then
the
crowding
and
swarming
and
exclaiming
:
"
There
he
is
!
There
he
is
!
Here
he
comes
!
Here
!
Here
!
"
And
a
large
and
meaty
female
pushing
as
close
as
possible
and
staring
directly
into
his
face
,
exclaiming
as
she
did
so
:
"
Let
me
see
him
!
I
just
want
to
get
a
good
look
at
you
,
young
man
.
I
have
two
daughters
of
my
own
.
"
But
without
one
of
all
those
of
Lycurgus
or
Twelfth
Lake
whom
he
had
recognized
in
the
public
benches
,
coming
near
him
.
And
no
glimpse
of
Sondra
anywhere
,
of
course
.
For
as
both
Belknap
and
Jephson
had
repeatedly
assured
him
,
she
would
not
appear
.
Her
name
was
not
even
to
be
mentioned
,
if
possible
.
The
Griffiths
,
as
well
as
the
Finchleys
,
were
opposed
.
And
then
five
entire
days
consumed
by
Mason
and
Belknap
in
selecting
a
jury
.
But
at
last
the
twelve
men
who
were
to
try
Clyde
,
sworn
and
seated
.
And
such
men
--
odd
and
grizzled
,
or
tanned
and
wrinkled
,
farmers
and
country
storekeepers
,
with
here
and
there
a
Ford
agent
,
a
keeper
of
an
inn
at
Tom
Dixon
's
Lake
,
a
salesman
in
Hamburger
's
dry
goods
store
at
Bridgeburg
,
and
a
peripatetic
insurance
agent
residing
in
Purday
just
north
of
Grass
Lake
.
And
with
but
one
exception
,
all
married
.
And
with
but
one
exception
,
all
religious
,
if
not
moral
,
and
all
convinced
of
Clyde
's
guilt
before
ever
they
sat
down
,
but
still
because
of
their
almost
unanimous
conception
of
themselves
as
fair
and
open-minded
men
,
and
because
they
were
so
interested
to
sit
as
jurors
in
this
exciting
case
,
convinced
that
they
could
pass
fairly
and
impartially
on
the
facts
presented
to
them
.
And
so
,
all
rising
and
being
sworn
in
.
And
at
once
Mason
rising
and
beginning
:
"
Gentlemen
of
the
jury
.
"
