"What! that an Injun up to Prairie du Chien was condemned to die, and that he asked to go home and see his family all alone, and promised to return on his honor?"
"Yes, Thomas Linken."
"And that they let him go home all alone, and that he spent his night with his family in weepin' and wailin', and returned the next mornin' to be shot?"
"Yes, Thomas Linken."
"And that they shot him?"
"Yes, Thomas Linken."
"Well, Johnnie, if I could believe that, I could believe anything."
"An Injun has honor as well as a white man, Thomas Linken."
"Who taught it to him?"
