- Younger Brother shaves his moustache and shaves his head. He blackens his face and hands with burnt cork. He makes the three package bombs used in a West End blast, proving his worth to Coalhouse's gang.

- They steal cars for the attacks they make on the firehouses. After his picture appears in the paper, Coalhouse shaves his head and moustache.
- Coalhouse and his gang get word that the car has been pulled from the pond, and that Chief Conklin has fled town. The men discuss plans for something "terrible," so that no ever messes with a black man around there again.
