Biography:
An out-of-towner, described as looking like "a desert rat in the moving pictures," who gets his shave and haircut from Hawkshaw and enthusiastically joins the lynch mob (170). ("Drummer" is another way to refer to a traveling salesman; it is no longer used but would have been very familiar to Faulkner's original audience.)
