Merlin Van Tornhout
“When I couldn’t put the poison in Sutter’s well, I went to Harvey, he said they’d come after me, the Klan would, I don’t have any choice but to run.”
Merlin is only 18, but was happy to sign up when the Klan came to town. He already hated blacks and Jewish people because they were different. He chickened out when the Klan wanted him to actually hurt people. Merlin was not a nice person and a coward.
