Question

In a lesson before dying in chapter 20 what is the Sheriff's concern

Answer 1

The main concern of Sheriff is that Jefferson will be executed on the second Friday after Easter, and that he'll send a doctor for Miss Emma. Then Grant asks why that's the day they chose, and the Sheriff says that it had to be before or after Lent because of the large Catholic population in the state. Lastly, the sheriff calls the doctor and tells him to go to Miss Emma's.
