Johnny is the prime suspect for the killing of Red Killeen and, despite Annie's pleas, his brother washes his hands of him. With a makeshift court set up in the tavern for Johnny's trial, George begins buckling under the pressure.
As Ralph destroys a box found on Red's corpse Annie asks Charles to intervene on the imprisoned Johnny's behalf but gets no joy. With Jericho divided between Johnny's detractors and his allies a trial goes ahead with Annie one of the few witnesses to speak up for his innocence, claiming she was with him at the time of the murder. Though Annie has asked Lace Polly to take him away from the town George returns and explains the true facts of Red's death, leading to Johnny being released and confronting Ralph as to why he hates him. At the same time Davey becomes aware of girl-friend Alma's indiscretion.—don @ minifie-1
