From the text:

“You know, there’s some folks, some groups, rabble-rousers and the kind, that would do anything to stir up trouble down here. They’re bent on disrupting our way of life, and I wouldn’t put it past them killing somebody, sticking some boy’s ring on him, and throwing his body in the river. Could be that Till boy is right now sitting in Chicago or somewhere up north having a good old time with all this trouble going on down here.
