Night Drive By Will. F. Jenkins

“Night Drive” Prove It! | Vinh

Good afternoon all distinguished guests, I would like to thank the judge and jury for coming out today to hear the hearing of why Bob was the killer of Mrs. Tabor. In the story Night Drive, by Will. F. Jenkins, there are many pieces of evidence that help support my claim.

In the story, there are many incidences where one person would not commit an action unless they had a specific intention to do something. On page 3, Madge describes how she found it confusing that Mr. Tabor stayed in town, living in the house he’d spent his honeymoon in. Most murderers will try to leave the country once they had hid all the evidence of them killing the victim, and try to lay low. In Mr. Tabor’s case, there is no other reason

Based on the text above, Bob had also been the one that had grabbed the club from a hiding spot. In addition, Eunice, or Mr. Tabor had only brought his work gloves out of the car, further proving my point that Bob was the killer, since he was the only one with the weapon planning to kill Madge that same night. Using the same piece of evidence stated above, there is more evidence that Bob had been the killer of Mrs. Tabor. It carefully points out that Bob had transformed from a young man with an injured leg, to a wholly animal who was hungry to kill. Later on in the story, it also says “The crouched figure moved toward the blob of light print dress which was Eunice - but which was not eunice.

Where Madge starts to realize that in fact Eunice was not trying to kill her, there is more hidden messages that help lead me to the conclusion that Bob was in fact the killer of Mrs. Tabor. On page 8, the story says ““Just drive on,” said John Tabor in a gentle voice. “That’s all. Just drive on.” This shows how Mr. Tabor doesn’t want to kill Madge, and in fact wants her to be safe. He discusses the whole plan to her for her safety. He was trying to protect Madge by scaring her, and is just giving her the facts to stop her from setting herself up to be killed. At the beginning of the story, there is some almost hidden evidence that Mr. Tabor cared about his wife, and wouldn’t want to see her killed or even hurt. This is because on the second page, the book reads “Her most vivid single memory of Mr. Tabor was the first time she’d seen him after the murder. He was a small man, and he’d looked shrunken and mummylike. This shows how he was depressed after the murder, while people who had just murdered someone would almost feel satisfied. The quote “She hadn’t know them well, but in a small town everybody knows everybody else to speak to, at least, so Mrs.
