Today is much the same. Jeff scribbled the note as fast as possible in his own form of shorthand. He’d grown used to writing while walking, and Jake had insisted on walking the several blocks to the courthouse. The whole family was enjoying the chance to get out in fresh air and sunshine. So many people surrounded them that it was almost like a parade, and Jeff saw the event as the continuing story of Jake Harkner that could be serialized in his newspaper column. He would write about this with that in mind, giving more details than a normal news article. He just hoped that wouldn’t mean writing about a hanging. Police are all around. Jake is in the lead with his arm around his wife, who looks ravishing today in a beautiful yellow dress. Behind them is his son, miraculously able to walk but looking thinner and obviously in pain. He came most of the way by buggy but wanted to walk the last block with his father. He is supported on one side by his sister, Evie Stewart, and on the other by his wife, Katie.
