 Henry Hawkshaw:
3 Henry Hawkshaw is a thin middle-aged man, a sand-colored man with a gentle face. when he spoke he was soft and stubborn.
- Inner characteristics
He is a stubborn person who does not give up easily. Even though in the end he was desperate to persuade McLendon and the other men not to kill Will
Mayes. In addition, he was very focused on finding out the truth of the rumors and tried to encourage others to do the same. So it can be said that he is a fair
and wise person.
 John Mclendon:
McLendon has a stout build ready with ease and has a hot and bold look. He is depicted wearing a white shirt and wearing a fur hat.

-Inner characteristics
McLendon is an irritable and vigilante, unwilling to know the truth of the incident. He is also light-hearted because at the end of the story he molested his
wife.
  Minnie Cooper:
Minnie was a woman in her late thirties about thirty-eight or thirty-nine. She was on the slender side of her usual appearance, with a bright and faintly
haggard manner and dress.

-Inner characteristics
Minnie is an innocent and popular person when she was young, she also has an energetic and lively personality. She never had a serious relationship except
with a widower who worked as a bank cashier. As she got older she became a victim of rumors. But when she was hit by rumors that she was being abused
by a Negro man, she didn't deny it and instead went on with her life without thinking about how the accusations affected her.

 Will Mayes
Mayes is a black man. Actually, Mayes is not explained in detail because his presence is very limited in this story. He appeared only when he was kidnapped
by McLendon.
So if you look at it from that point of view, Mayes is somewhat polite because he didn't fight back when some whites led by McLendon kidnapped him from
work.
