The newspaper editor finally deduces that the telegrapher is the only other one (besides the stage owner) who could have known about the stage coming because he was the one who transmitted the scheduling messages, something so obvious everyone in the town should have known it, but for some reason only the newspaper editor, under great duress because of his unrequited love for the woman who loved the sheriff, was able to come up with that well-known factoid and help the sheriff's son that he had previously rashly tried and judged guilty in his newspaper.

In addition to the 1891 silver dollar being an obvious fake, it was said to be minted in St. Louis. There has never been a U.S. Mint in St. Louis.

The deduction of the telegrapher's guilt happens totally in private and without spreading the news, yet when they immediately go to the telegraph office to look for the telegrapher, he is already gone, deserting his post for no apparent reason, and when they go to his house he is gone from there also, and when they go to his sister's house looking for him, without even telling her why they are looking for him, after she tells them where he went she begs them not to kill him, but nothing is said that would make her think that they wished him any harm, as they are only looking for him. Nobody tells the telegrapher they know he is guilty, he stays in town through the whole trial, then all of a sudden he just up and takes off and even his sister now knows they want to kill him?

Judge: Now this is going to be a fair trial... conducted legally. A boy's life hangs in the balance.

Charley - Laundry Owner: Sheriff! Gone! All gone sheriff!

Benjamin 'Benjie' Galt: Dad, you can't believe what he said. You can't!
