The Man from the Gallows and Criminal Gratitude, 1935 r. - E. L. McKeag

Hutchton was not a very rich city, Daniel was not a very wealthy man at all. Daniel wasn't even employed! Along with 5 children and his wife, Ellen, starved most of their days. In the city of Hutchton, mayor John Blidieth was a Filthy rich, fat, and super mean. For his amusement, he would lynch a person if they were behind on rent on the houses he owned (which was basically every house). To avoid getting lynched, Daniel would fix gardens for very little pay, hoping it would be enough to pay for the rent and praying that there would be a little extra for his family to even get through the day without starving. One morning, Daniel and his wife woke up to the kids complaining that they were hungry. Ellen cooked the last of bread and sprinkled the little bits of cheese on the bread. "We are all out of food..." Ellen said sadly. "I guess we won't be having dinner tonight." While the kids were eating the last of there meals, Ellen told Daniel about a man named Michael Yott. He was lynched last night. His body is still hanging for everyone to see. As always, Daniel was not interested in hearing the rest and had to leave to do more odd jobs for more money. Michael Yott was a man he never liked anyhow.
