King Coal Book 3 - The Henchmen of King Coal; Sections 4-6

In which a young miner, Hal, confronts the District Attorney and local magistrates with urgent affidavits concerning a coal mine disaster and the plight of trapped workers, only to encounter a persistent refusal to intervene and a disheartening indifference to justice. The weary legal authorities, wrapped in the decorum of their office and the interests of the coal company, dismiss Hal’s impassioned pleas, leaving him to reckon with the grim realities of power and law in their sleepy town.
