The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Bucky O'Connor by William MacLeod Raine: Bucky had once done a favor of some importance, and from him to
Sonora and Chihuahua. It led to musty old official files, to
records already yellowed with age, to court reports and prison
registers. In the end it flashed back to Bucky great news. Dave
Henderson, arrested for the murder of the Rurales policeman, was
still serving time in a Mexican prison for another man's crime.
There in Chihuahua for fifteen years he had been lost to the
world in that underground hole, blotted out from life so
effectually that few now remembered there had been such a person.
It was horrible, unthinkable, but none the less true.
