Huck if that was true and Huck said he didn’t know why it was someone who told him,

Chapter 2

In the graveyard

That night Tom waited for Huck’s meow to go to the graveyard and when he heard it
Tom left his house to go with Huck to the graveyard, when they arrived they put the cat
in one and hid under some trees and waited for something will happen also Huck saw
that there was a new grave in the graveyard and Tom said that it was of a man named
Hoss Williams who had died last week. Suddenly the boys saw 3 dark figures moving
through the graveyard and the boys were afraid that they would see them, they
believed they were, those figures moved close to where the boys were but they saw
that these figures were not ghosts but that there were 3 men: Muff Potter, Injun Joe and
Doctor Robinson, they were grave robbers, Huck told Tom that his father had told him
that Doctor Robinson was taking the bodies because he wanted to investigate them but
Tom silenced Huck because they could be listened. The three men stopped in front of
Williams’s grave and Muff and Joe began digging to remove the body and when they
finished Joe told the doctor that he should pay him for doing that but he didn’t want to
pay him and Joe got angry and attacked the doctor and when the doctor threw Joe to
the floor Muff defended him but the doctor also attacked Muff so Joe grabbed the knife
and quickly stabbed the doctor in the back and the doctor was left lying dead on the
floor, when Muff woke up Joe made him believe that he had been the one who killed
the doctor so Joe told him to escape and he would fix all this, Joe put the knife near the
doctor’s body and also escaped. The next day the sheriff found the dead body of the
doctor and Muff’s knife in the graveyard, that night Muff came for his knife but the
sheriff was there and took him to St Petersburg jail and Muff was going to be there for
four weeks waiting his trial. Tom and Huck could not forget everything they had seen
that night in the graveyard, they were both unhappy and afraid, they wanted to help
Muff because he was not to blame for the doctor’s death but rather Joe, they were both
afraid of Joe because he is a killer so they did not ask to say anything about what they
saw that night in the graveyard.
