The well known form of Sheriff Paul was seen above them, and then everybody knew they were Murphy and Gibson.
 A chain, uniting Gibson's rlght leg with Murphy's left leg, made ther pre- gress slow over the platform to the carryall whence then they made theIr journey to the jail.

Otherwise his face, as that of Gibson's, was wholly smooth. They looked fat, as if they l had been particularly well fed of late.
