Cash Bribe and the Molly Maguires Shadow Tom's Trial Looms
Tom accepts ten dollar bills to stay silent about Bennie’s safety as the miner strike widens. Pleadwell pressures him to testify next Tuesday while Harris escorts him toward Wilkesbarre. Tom wrestles with conscience, fearing hypocrisy, while Bennie’s stance on telling the truth only grows more complex as the strike sours.
Would Bennie Take the Bribe to Cure His Sight
Tom covertly proposes a test of Bennie by recounting a hypothetical offer from Jack Bennie to fund Bennie’s eye cure in exchange for silence about setting a fire. Bennie, with sightless eyes, responds that if Tom took the money and used it to cure him, he would rather remain blind than face shame or look at Tom again.
