__Summarizer - Melanie__ Sam Wood, a policeman, is performing his nightly patrol of the city of Wells. Everything is perfectly normal, so he stops at the all-night drive-in for his break. He talks for a while with the counterman, Ralph, but soon leaves to head back into town. On the highway, Sam suddenly notices something lying in the middle of the road. He drives closer and realizes that it’s a man. He checks for the man’s heartbeat, but can’t seem to find it. Sam quickly decides the man is dead and eventually identifies him as Mantoli, the festival conductor, while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

__ Summarizer - Melanie - Chp. 8 __
Sam Wood and Pete, the day man, meet in the washroom so they can have a private conversation. They talk about how well Virgil is doing in trying to solve the murder case and end up deciding that, “He should’ve been a white man,” which shows that they think people with dark skin can’t be that smart, or that the person should have white skin if they __are__ that smart. At the same time that that conversation is going on, Bill Gillespie is called to the mayor’s office to talk to three councilmen. They ask him how the case is going and about the rumors of a dark-skinned man being in the police station. Gillespie responds by saying that he definitely doesn’t want someone with a dark skin color there. Then Gillespie adds that the only reason Virgil’s still there is because once the mayor was informed of Virgil’s background, he told Gillespie to use him on the case. The councilmen are satisfied with Gillespie’s answer and agree that a dark-skinned man should not be in their town and be allowed to act like he is a white man. Gillespie’s response to the questions about Virgil and the councilmen agreeing with them also show that none of the men believe people with dark skin are equal to people with white skin.
