Notes: 

TMT 17 July 2014: I'm not sure to whom Hightower refers when he says "Poor man" and/or the "warranted officer" (414). I'm going with Christmas as the immediate antecedent in Mooney's comment and leaving the warranted officer out of it.

Summary: 

Hightower learns that Byron has quit his job at the planning mill. As he walks home he seems to be thinking about Joe Christmas, and the possibility of his death.
