All realize that the mob means business.  On back wall is reward placard similar to one posted outside (same card).  Sheriff, turning to Steve, points to this.  Steve nods.  Sheriff calls attention of all to back door.  Then, facing Steve again, he indicates, “If I let you go that way, will you live honestly hereafter?” Steve looks at him a moment, then crosses to placard and pointing to words proclaiming reward for “Aravaipa Steve,” passes other hand in front of eyes, as if in disgust at what he has been, then hangs head.  Sheriff watches him a moment, then holds out his hand.  Steve grasps it and turns to Freeman and Dr. Turner.  As deputy turns toward street door, hearing more knocking upon it, Freeman and doctor both shake hands with Steve, sheriff quietly opens back door, and Steve, after hesitating a moment, slips out.  Sheriff bars back door and, turning around, runs across to street door and shouts to crowd on outside, haranguing them to gain time.

Jess enters, followed by Steve.  He goes across to bed and bends over Norma, who is sleeping quietly.  Turning around, he sees the photographs on the shelf on wall, Jess’s picture among them.  He looks at her as if hesitating to speak, then, pointing to her picture, asks if he may take it with him.  She is a trifle confused at first; then, realizing the change that has taken place in the man, she takes it down and is about to hand it to him, when he takes piece of pencil from pocket of vest and hands it to her, asking her to write her name on it.  Jess looks at him, then takes pencil and writes on back of photo.
