The accused Juvencio Nava had murdered his neighbor Don Lupe over a mere trifling issue of their cattle grazing in the other person's land. And for this crime, he had been guarding himself from being detected, which after the death of the victim's wife and the young children taken to far away place to their relatives, he had thought himself safe from any retribution.
The line <em>"so there was nothing to fear from them"</em> is said by Juvencio while recounting the past years he had lived during the murder. He stated that with the death of Lupe's wife due to grief, and the children being taken to stay with relatives in a far away places, he has nothing to worry about anymore. He could easily live his life without the fear of being hunted.

The line also foreshadows the future events where he will be captured and killed by the son of the murdered man. The colonel who had him captured has come to pass judgement on him. As it turns out, he was the son of Don Lupe, and had wanted to exact revenge on his father's killer. In the end, Guadalupe Terreros' son had avenge his father's murder.
