This is the house that the Negro widower "had rented for his wife, his marriage, his life, his old age" (156). But after the death of his wife, it is the scene of his arrest for killing a white man. (As readers of the short story "Pantaloon in Black" or the novel Go Down, Moses would know, the Negro who "cut a white man's throat" is named 'Rider,' and "the house he had rented" was on the McCaslin-Edmonds plantation northwest of Jefferson.)
This "deputy" helps subdue the Negro widower whose grief sends him into a frenzy (156). (This event appears in "Pantaloon in Black" as both a short story and a chapter in Go Down, Moses; there the deputy's character is displayed at some length.)
This jailer helps subdue the Negro widower whose grief sends him into a frenzy. He appears by name - Ketcham - in "Pantaloon in Black" and again in Go Down, Moses, where the event Temple is re-telling first occurs; there the widower's name is Rider. (The novel spells it "jailer" in reference to this man, 156; it uses the spelling "jailor" for its two other jailers, the "jailor" named Farmer, 179; and the "JAILOR" named Tubbs who appears in the dramatic section of Act III, 209.
This is the wife in the eventTemple recount who dies after "only two weeks" of marriage. In "Pantaloon in Black," where Faulkner first told this story, her name is Mannie.
"Another one" - this is how Temple refers to the Negro husband who is driven by his despair and grief after the death of his wife to drink and then to drive him to "cut a white man's throat with a razor in a dice game" (156). This is the story that Faulkner tells in "Pantaloon in Black" as a short story and again as a chapter in Go Down, Moses; in those texts, mostly told from this man's point of view, his name is Rider, and he ends up being lynched. Temple's account doesn't mention that.
