Biography: 

A "stranger" in "neat city clothes" (126), Mr. Workman is an insurance adjuster from the Memphis office of the company that wrote a life insurance policy on Ellie. He speaks with a "cold" voice, yet is described as being in "a sort of seething boil" about the shooting (126). Suspecting something after meeting with "Old Man Pritchel" in person (126), he goes out of his way to tell the sheriff about the imminent sale of the Pritchel farm.

Note: 
insurance CUT: Mr. Workman comes to the Pritchel house and thinks he is meeting with Wesley Pritchel about the insurance policy and the death of Ellie Flint, but Workman really meets with Joel Flint who is disguised as Pritchel.
