Irving writes that no one really knows what happened to Tom's wife, however when Tom finds the missing checked cloth with a heart and liver inside and observes the scene near it, he concludes that his wife must have battled the devil and eventually lost--not easily, though, because Tom notices that there were
"many prints of cloven feet deeply stamped about the tree, and several handsful of hair, that looked as if they had been plucked from the coarse black shock of the woodsman. Tom knew his wife's prowess by experience."
The description is ironic on a couple of counts. First, the fact that Tom's wife was so stingy and stubborn that she would have given the devil a harsh time bargaining and fighting fits into Irving's typical, ironic description of the nagging wife. Secondly, the last sentence refers back to the abuse that Tom often suffered at the hands of his wife, and he almost sympathizes for the devil in regards to the battle between him and Mrs. Walker.
<span>In the first line of the text we can find clues to what kind of person William Zanzinger is. He had a diamond ring on his finger. That would indicate he is wealthy or a thief. He had a cain that he twirled which is an attention getting action, not something a common thief or any thief would do. We must also understand that common thieves do not kill people. Based on the evidence presented I conclude that William Zanzinger is a wealthy man and potentially a serial killer based on the calm way we went about his murder.</span>
