Nagle says he must recommend the lowest bid but prefers an experienced contractor, noting De Marco's McKinley ties and potential Italian helps.

Burned Negro to Death at Lincoln County Vigilante Fire
A mob of about three hundred in Lincoln County executed Pres ton Porter Jr by burning him at a stake after binding him to a railroad rail. The father of the murdered girl set the flame, and Porter begged to be shot, but the crowd pressed the burning ritual, delaying the end until the body was finally consumed. The vigilante group then returned home quietly, while the train carrying Porter to Hugo was met by further mobs eager for revenge.
