Bob found died, Jem injured

Last night, Bob launched his planned attack on Atticus’ two children, Jem and Scout. Jem was unconscious and Bob was pronounced dead shortly after, leaving Scout at the scene, unharmed. The two was passing by the Radley’s house when “Jem said he heard something.” Said Scout when asked, by Mr. Tate.

It was one an hour after the Maycomb Halloween pageant, and the two children were on their way back from their schoolhouse. Scout was wearing an eye-catching costume when Bob Ewell was believed to have attempted to stab them with a kitchen knife.

Jem and Scout initially thought it was just their friend, Cecil, playing a prank on them like before. Jem later realized the danger; the “stranger” shuffled and dragged his feet.

The three struggled and fought in the dark. Scout was pushed into a wire mesh and just when Bob tries to strangle her, “Jem got up and knocked Mr. Ewell down.” Said Scout. Bob staggered and panted after falling on his own knife, as what Tate concluded after investigating the scene. Mr. Tate believes Bob Ewell accidentally stumbled while holding the knife, while his weight drove it into his chest.

The Finch family called Dr. Reynolds immediately after discovering their two children. “He’s got a bump on the head just like yours, and a broken arm.”, He said.

Mr. Tate and Atticus quarreled over whether Jem killed Bob Ewell after the murder. Atticus thinks that Jem killed Bob Ewell, and disagreed with Heck when Heck said Bob Ewell fell on his knife.

Mr. Finch seemed shocked about the incident, “I thought he’d got it all out of him the day he threatened me. Even if he hadn’t, I thought he’d come after me. “

Boo Radley made his rare appearance at the time of the murder, saving Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell.

“Let the dead bury the dead”, said Mr. Tate.
