CHAPTER 5

THE TRIAL

Some weeks later, Muff Potter was in the jail waiting for the day of the trial. Tom knew that, so he was worried for Muff. After the graveyard's scene, Tom and Huck promised not to tell anyone. Now, they were going to visit the innocent in the jail. During the trial, the lawyer called Tom Sawyer and he related what happened. Tom told that the killer was Injun Joe. When the murderer heard this, he got out throw the window. Anyone found him, but Tom became the hero of St Petersburg.
