Unnamed Moonshiner

The "moonshiner" who lives at the scene of the murder and kidnapping is not named in the novel; in Sanctuary (1931) he is Lee Goodwin, and it is at his trial for murder that Temple provides the perjured testimony she confesses to in Requiem.

Unnamed Memphis Lawyer

The "lawyer of the man" who kidnaps Temple is identified only as a "Memphis lawyer"; he "produces" Temple as an alibi witness for Popeye during a murder trial "in the Jefferson courtroom" (101). Gavin mentions this lawyer again the third time that he notes that Popeye was "hanged the next summer in Alabama" (118). According to Gavin, the lawyer tried in vain to convince his client to defend himself.
