Buckton Escapes Lynching After Message from Mother
Buckton is captured by Phillipstown posse after weeks on the run. He reveals a letter from his mother that explains his crimes as desperate acts to support her, asking to be sent back and kept from public shame. He is allowed to flee at sunset, aided by Menken, as the group reacts with mixed motives and reluctant mercy.
