Sam sold
onions in the town of Green Lake. Everybody in town knew him and bought onions in every form and for each
illness. Sam
helped Miss Katherine to fix the
schoolhouse and they fell in love. Someone saw them kissing. But a
Negro kissing a white woman was against the law. The people in town
wanted to hang Sam. He ran away with Miss Katherine. They tried to
escape with Sam's boat. But they had to leave Mary Lou behind. She
was killed. They couldn`t get over the lake, because of Trout
Walker, whose boat was faster than Sam's boat. Then Sam was shot
dead by Trout Walker.
