Injun Joe repeated his statement, just as calmly, a few minutes afterward on the inquest, under oath; and the boys, seeing that the lightnings were still withheld, were confirmed in their belief that Joe had sold himself to the devil.
Joe l'Indi repetí la seva declaració, amb la mateixa calma, uns quants minuts després, en procedir-se a l'enquesta, sota jurament; i els minyons, veient que els llamps eren encara fermats, es consolidaren en llur creença que Joe s'havia venut al diable.
