Old muff potter's friends • muff potter in court • muff potter saved
SummaryThe Muff Potter murder trial is back on and it’s the only thing the whole town can talk about. Everyone believes that Potter killed Dr. R and this is taking a toll on Tom and Huck’s conscience. They meet up to talk about what’s happening and decide to swear to keep mum again, just to make sure. Every witness leads closer to the guiltiness of Muff Potter, and Muff’s defendant doesn’t have any defense until Tomas Sawyer takes the stand. As Tom is telling his story to the courtroom, Injun Joe jumps out the courtroom widow and escapes.
