Wine treading and a feud ends in murder in Kentucky tale
A fragmented tale blends scandal and crime as a bushwhacker turned farmer aids a sick master. Reynolds shoots John Garth in a feud and is killed by Garth’s daughter after a mysterious poisoning. Lottie, the daughter, exits the scene as a neighbor reports a note claiming the killings. The story closes with moral imagery of farms, banks, and forgiveness.
