Later he tries to lower the men's wages, which brings on a strike. The men pursue the manager, who takes refuge in Jane's house; she shelters him, then tells him to get out. He forges a note to get her to meet him in the woods, and as she is talking to him he is shot. The man who shot him is her father, but John is accused because the father used John's gun.
