First, the gambler politely declines the Swede’s invitation. He cites the fact that he does not know the Swede. Unfortunately, the Swede remains insistent and does not heed the gambler’s warning to remove his hand. Instead, the Swede grabs the gambler by the throat and tries to force him to his feet. In seconds, the gambler slits the Swede’s throat and kills him. The businessmen and the district attorney quickly leave, while the gambler calmly wipes his knife and informs the bartender to tell the police they can find him at home. After the gambler leaves, the bartender walks the streets, calling for help and companionship.
Months later, the Easterner and the cowboy cross paths once again. They are aware of the Swede’s death and the gambler’s punishment of three years in prison. The two men muse over the situation, the cowboy believing that the bartender should have been able to prevent the murder. The cowboy also thinks that the Swede was just being unreasonable, and had he not accused Johnnie of cheating, he would still be alive.
The Easterner disagrees and expresses pity for the gambler. He reveals to the cowboy that Johnnie was in fact cheating. The Easterner laments the fact that he did not support the Swede in his accusation. He also points out that the cowboy wanted a fight. Ultimately, the Easterner believes that all of the men involved are guilty of the Swede’s death. Despite this fervent speech, the cowboy maintains his innocence.
