The musicians that Temple and her father listen to in the Luxembourg Gardens are dressed "in the horizon blue of the army" - suggesting they may be a military band, but that is not stated - and play Massenet, Scriabin and Berlioz (316).

It is this sheriff who, with a sarcastic comment, "springs the trap" when Popeye is executed by hanging (316).

In the hours before Popeye's execution, this minister prays for him several times, and repeatedly tries without success to get Popeye to pray for himself.

Before finding Popeye guilty the faceless jury in Alabama that hears the case against him deliberates for "eight minutes" (312) - the same amount of time it took the jury in Jefferson to decide Lee was guilty too, similarly for a crime he did not commit.

The District Attorney who tries Popeye believes the conviction was "too easy," and assumes Popeye will mount an appeal (312).
