The children's conversation soon turns to TJ Avery, and it is slowly revealed that he is currently in jail, after he is accused of killing Mr. Barnett while robbing his store in Strawberry. He claims that RW and Melvin Simms actually did it, and he just went along with them, but the two white brothers are blaming him. The only reason he survived long enough to go to jail is because a fire in the Logans' fields interrupted his lynching.
