“Hung! Ah, hung himself?”

“No sir, he was hanged by ‘601‘—by the Vigilantes.”

“What did they hang him for?”

“He had been notified to leave town, but after leaving he came back.”

“When a man has been notified to leave the town, can’t he never come back here again and stay?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Yes? Then how is this?”

“Well he came back and”—pointing to the coffin—“you see he stayed.”
