They share a moment and a kiss after which Charlotte retreats to another room. Werther continues his letters to Wilhelm, and he is certain that the only remedy for his torturous love is the grave. He makes a series of preparations to that end.

http://anchor.fm/karla3507/subscribe CashApp $karlareads Thanks for listening! Alert - Explicit dialogue! In the final chapters, we learn that Griffin resigned as deputy mid-firefight; refusing to shoot white men over niggers. Lou is deputized and in charge as Mapes has been hit. We learn who died during the shoot out, who survived, what injuries were incurred, and even find some humor in the ensuing court proceedings.  

We meet Gil Boutan, Beau's brother. Gil and Sulley are friends. Gil plays football at LSU, and comprises half of a dynamic duo with Calvin Harrison, who is Black American. They are called salt and pepper on the field. The big game is in 36 hours. Sulley is called T.V., not for his initials, but because he loves watching tv. Gil learns that his brother Beau is dead, and he and Sully drive to Mathu's house. They see the old men and Gil asks Mapes what is going on. 

Sheriff Mapes and his deputy arrive at Mathu's house. Mapes sees that Candy and the old men have gathered there. Candy tells Mapes that she killed Beau. Not believing her, Mapes tells Deputy Griffin to bring one of the men to him. Griffin brings Uncle Billy and Gable to face Mapes, one at a time, and both men claim responsibility for the murder. Neither man backs down even after Mapes hits them across the face. Reverend Jameson also faces Mapes, and all he can say is that he has nothing to say, before Mapes hits him across the face. 

Miss Merle goes to see Miss Bea and Janey to help Candy in her efforts to get more black men out to Mathu's house. Candy claims she shot Beau, who lays in a field. The idea is to get everyone and their 12 gauge shot guns and number five shells out there, so everyone is confessing to the crime. Contributions: CashApp $KarlaReads Thanks for listening.
