.052 Another message from the mayor's office.

[timesbureaucrat]

Like all of you, I am grieved at the death of Miss Mercy Parker and glad that the foul murderer has been captured and will meet his maker at the end of a rope. I know that passions are running high and many feel great anger, sadness, and pain, but in this trying time we must not forget that we are a lawful community and it is our adherence to law

I had to. I'm not sorry. Feel free to ignore him.

[just a very slow clap.]

Well you shouldn't be sorry. It is a great response to the speechifying.

[The mayor is not going to let himself be seen acknowledging a murderer.]

He is amused by everything he has done in your town mayor. AMUSED.

[expectremorse]

Flattered I made such an impression. Gonna miss this burg.

I don't right know for certain. Desaid might have shot the boy. There's no witnesses come forward to say otherwise. And, as the saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth.

Well, of course it would be more convenient if there were further evidence of his guilt.

[timesbureaucrat]

Thank you, Mr. Foreman. Much appreciated. And put me down for ten dollars to get it started.

We just see you about it, then?
