Corrigan The Coward

There is no doubt in my mind that the Story “Just Another Indian” had many themes and actions that were so hanase that they are hard to believe. In the case of Bill Corrigan, the fact that he was allowed to go free after explaining that he had known about the acts committed by John Crawford and had held information regarding his murders was an act itself that is hard to believe went unpunished. In the court's eyes for some reason Corrigan since he claimed he was scared of John and had given information meant that he was allowed to walk free without any charges. In my personal opinion Bill Corrigan was using the system so that he could not only get away with his involvement in the murders of innocent woman but also that he could gain financial stability and have his other criminal action against the hotel he had worked for in Saskatoon paid off. Corrigan had stolen money and had fled Saskatoon, but in order to come to Saskatoon and get rid of his police warrant meant that he had to pay back the hotel so he could be in Saskatoon and not get into trouble with the police.  The money Corrigan had stolen was paid by the Saskatoon police force. It is a sickening fact that taxpayer money went to pay back a crime that Bill had done by himself just so that he may or may not at that time given information about John Crawford. At the time that Bill was giving information he was a wild card, he was a known criminal and had been a suspect in the murders of the three woman. In the case of a murder of Janet Sylvestre both John and Bill were suspects. In Janet’s murder Bill’s story about his whereabouts had changed, one moment he claimed he was in Saskatoon which was proved by police records of him arriving in Saskatoon that night or the night before, to Bill claiming he wasn’t in Saskatoon the night of Janet’s murder. Because of his ever changing story Bill nor John were ever charged with Janet’s murder even though in the past John had raped Janet.

The involvement of the murders of innocent woman had gone unsolved for years after their passing because of the lack of action of a witness who chose to run from the law instead of bringing clarity of peace and knowledge for the families of those that he watched get murdered by his best friend. Bill Corrigan was a coward that hide behind taxpayer money and should have been charged for his involvement in the infamous Saskatoon murders.
