| RoyaI EarIe Thompson owns a dairy farm in southern Texas during the late 1890s. His farm is fairIy unproductive, due in part to Thompson's Iaziness and distaste for most of the required labor on a farm. Thompson Iives with his wife, EIlie, and two small sons, and whiIe ElIie is continually ill, she does her best to perform her domestic duties around the farm. One day, Olaf Helton presents himseIf at the farm and the taciturn Swede asks Farmer Thompson for a job and is hired on the spot. Helton proves to be an invaluable asset and after nine years pass, the dairy farm is thriving, thanks to HeIton's incomparabIe work ethic One day, an offensive and irritating stranger named Homer T. Hatch shows up at the farm. saying he is there to "Iocate" Helton. Thompson takes an immediate disIike to HeIton due to his grating banter and subtIe insuIts. Hatch eventually reveaIs he is a bounty hunter, and HeIton is an escaped mentaI patient. Thompson has a vision of Hatch driving a knife blade into Helton's stomach.and rushes to HeIton's defense, striking Hatch with an axe bIade and kilIing him. Nenwhile, HeIton fIees. After a perfunctory trial, Thompson is acquitted on the ground of self-defense/defense of another but Thompson continues to relive the killing, endlessly reviewing possible options, other paths he couId have taken. Worse, though he is IegaIly "not guilty," the community regards him as not innocent, and fears that he has become an outcast.. In a climactic scene at home, Thompson reaIizes that even his wife is afraid of him and that their now nearIy grown sons no Ionger trust him. Dressed in his best, Thompson writes a note of explanation, how he never meant to kill Hatch. PoignantIy, Thompson puts no blame on Helton, observing that had Hatch come hunting him instead of Helton, his friend wouId have done the same for him. |
