"Why don't we hang this man instead, marshal?" Slocum didn't like the joke. And he didn't like the stranger's derringer pressed against his ribs. "Just raise your hands, mister, I'll take the gun," the deputy growled. Within two minutes the "law men" had Slocum's hands tied and a rope around his neck. It was a simple case of mistaken identity, but Slocum was in no position to protest--especially with a noose choking the words in his throat
