A Death Triggered by Bravery and Fate in the Diggings
In a grim mining tale Joe Swain faces a death by noose after a final act of tenderness. He weakens at the last moment, turning his own execution into a humane, if fatal, act that reveals a buried soul. A companion tale features Carter and Kellogg with a Bible saving one before tragedy strikes the other, followed by a courtroom recital of John Taylor’s luminous, forceful defense that ends in a brutal mob verdict and a preacher’s later appearance.
