1) Bill Gillespie was suddenly nice to Virgil because he realised that he could help him by either capturing the murderer and making him look like the hero or failing and taking the blame for him. Bill realises this when he gets a call from the mayor Frank Schubert and gets yelled at for kicking Tibbs out of his station.
2) When Gillespie has an outburst and kicks Tibbs out Tibbs shows the following characteristics, He is polite because even after Gillespie yelled at him for no good reason he still thanks him and says good morning. He also shows that he is patient because he just listened to bill Gillespie yell at him and then did what he was told.
3) Frank Schubert is the mayor of Wells who owns a hardware store 2 gas stations and a small committee of people who run the cities affairs. He calls Bill Gillespie for an update on how the investigation is going and that's when he realises that he got rid of Tibbs. That's when he explains to Bill that Tibbs could help him solve the case or take the fall if he fails.
4) A: Bill Gillespie was relived that Tibbs didn't smell because before meeting him he was already prejudice towards black people because he thought they all smelt really bad.
B: When Tibbs told Gillespie that if his captain told him to go to England he would hunt down jack the ripper he was saying that he would do anything his captain told him to
C: Tibbs knows there plan to let him take the down fall for them so he calls himself there fall guy because hes the one taking the fall if things go bad.
D:He says he doesn't want to be conspicuous (meaning obvious) because he doesn't want the people hes questioning to be intimidate by the fact that hes in uniform and hes armed.
E: He says That there in California because bill Gillespie's wants to know where his boss is and how a black man is able to be here with so much education and wealth.
5) Mrs Endicott is one of the very few people in Wells that isn't very racist and actually shakes his hand like an equal by not being rude to him and by shaking his hand. she has allot of power so she might be able to influence the people of Wells into liking black people.
6) Eric Kaufmann was at his hotel shaving at the time of the murder so he could not have murdered mantolli. Mantolli was murdered at around 4 and he went tio bed at 2:30 if his story is true.
7) Unlike how Sam usually acts, this encounter with Duena was ver relaxed. He didn't act as much like a cop as usual he just wanted to comfort her the best he could. Duena makes the impression on sam that she is very quiet and depressed so Sam wants to try to make here feel better. This encounter shows that Duena is unselfish because she doesn't worry about how hard her life will become she is sad because her fathers dreams were crushed not hers.
8) This chapter adds a few new suspects to the plot such as Eric and some new bystanders like Duena. It also gives us a bit more information on Montolli when Duena explains why he was in Wells and what he wanted to do. A subplot was added between Tibbs and Gillespie. Bill Gillespie thinks he can fool Tibbs into making him look good so he gets him back but Tibbs is smarter and already knows whats going on.
