Cox and Mary Louise go to Edward's house. Mary Louise says that Cox just remembered giving The Stranger money, but Evelyn doesn't believe her. Edward asks Cox what he told The Stranger, but Cox says he can't remember. Cox and Mary Louise offer Edward and Evelyn part of the gold if they give them the gold. Edward reminds Cox that he was going to publish the letter and Cox calls his newspaper office and John tells him that he just sent out the newspapers. Cox puts a wooden box outside the Hadleyburg Star for people to put what they said to The Stranger in order to get the gold. Felix hands out letters to various people in town including Cox. Mary Louise reads the letter to Cox which includes what The Stranger was told, "go and sin no more".
The townspeople meet inside the saloon and Cox nominates Judge Jones as chairman, but he declines since he is part of the group claiming the money. It goes on down the line from Mr. Smaller who nominates The Stranger, who just walked in. The Stranger welcomes the press and then reads the first letter from the box. He asks the author to stand and Mr. Wilson and Mr. Billson stand up. They accuse each other of lying and The Stranger reads the name on the letter, Mr. Billson. Mr. Wilson accuses Mr. Billson of stealing his letter. The Stranger reads another letter from Binkerton which has the exact words. Binkerton insists he gave the money and The Stranger reads another letter with the exact words, this time from Sheriff Johnson. The Stranger tells the crowd that the last time he passed through Hadleyburg he asked nineteen households for help, and none of them gave him a glass of water. He then hands out the remaining letters, which all have the same words. Mr. Billson starts trying to shoot The Stranger and The Stranger tells the crowd that Hadleyburg will have to change its name due to its scandal and then jumps out the window.
