Capítulo 11, Página 3
Potter
almost
fell,
but
they
caught
him
and
helped
him
to
the
ground.
Then
he
said:
“Something
told
me
if
I
didn’t
come
back
and
get—”
He
shivered,
then
waved
his
hand
weakly
and
said,
“Tell
them,
Joe,
tell
them—it’s
no
use
anymore.”
Huckleberry
and
Tom
stood
silent
and
watched
as
the
cold-hearted
liar
calmly
gave
his
statement.
They
expected
lightning
to
strike
him
any
moment,
but
when
he
finished
and
nothing
happened,
their
urge
to
break
their
oath
and
save
Potter
faded.
It
seemed
Joe
had
sold
his
soul
to
the
devil,
and
it
was
too
dangerous
to
interfere.
“Why
didn’t
you
leave?
Why
did
you
come
here?”
someone
asked.
“I
couldn’t
help
it—I
couldn’t
help
it,”
Potter
moaned.
“I
wanted
to
run,
but
I
couldn’t
go
anywhere
else.”
And
he
started
crying
again.
Injun
Joe
repeated
his
story
calmly
during
the
inquest,
under
oath.
The
boys,
seeing
no
lightning
strike,
believed
even
more
that
Joe
had
sold
his
soul.
To
them,
he
became
the
most
fascinating
and
frightening
person
they
had
ever
seen,
and
they
couldn’t
look
away
from
him.
They
decided
to
watch
him
at
night
whenever
they
could,
hoping
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
his
terrifying
master.
Injun
Joe
helped
lift
the
body
of
the
murdered
man
and
put
it
in
a
wagon.
It
was
whispered
among
the
crowd
that
the
wound
bled
a
little!
The
boys
hoped
this
would
shift
suspicion
in
the
right
direction,
but
they
were
disappointed
when
some
villagers
said:
