She
knows
that
Maurice
Gerald
is
shut
up
within
the
walls
of
a
prison
--
the
strong
walls
of
a
military
guard-house
.
It
is
not
their
strength
that
dismays
her
.
On
the
contrary
,
she
has
fears
for
their
weakness
!
She
has
reasons
for
her
apprehension
.
She
has
heard
of
the
rumours
that
are
abroad
;
rumours
of
sinister
significance
.
She
has
heard
talk
of
a
second
trial
,
under
the
presidency
of
Judge
Lynch
and
his
rude
coadjutors
--
not
the
same
Judge
Lynch
who
officiated
in
the
Alamo
,
nor
all
of
the
same
jury
;
but
a
court
still
less
scrupulous
than
that
of
the
Regulators
;
composed
of
the
ruffianism
,
that
at
any
hour
can
be
collected
within
the
bounds
of
a
border
settlement
--
especially
when
proximate
to
a
military
post
.
The
reports
that
have
thus
gone
abroad
are
to
some
a
subject
of
surprise
.
Moderate
people
see
no
reason
why
the
prisoner
should
be
again
brought
to
trial
in
that
irregular
way
.
The
facts
,
that
have
late
come
to
light
,
do
not
alter
the
case
--
at
least
,
in
any
way
to
strengthen
the
testimony
against
him
.
If
the
four
horsemen
seen
were
not
Indians
--
and
this
has
been
clearly
shown
by
the
discovery
of
the
disguises
--
it
is
not
the
less
likely
that
they
have
had
to
do
with
the
death
of
young
Poindexter
.
Besides
,
there
is
nothing
to
connect
them
with
the
mustanger
,
any
more
than
if
they
had
been
real
Comanches
.
Why
,
then
,
this
antipathy
against
the
respited
prisoner
,
for
the
second
time
surging
up
?
There
is
a
strangeness
about
the
thing
that
perplexes
a
good
many
people
.
There
are
a
few
that
understand
,
or
suspect
,
the
cause
.
A
very
few
:
perhaps
only
three
individuals
.
