Resumo de The Green Line (la Ligne Verte)

The corridor of dead? The green line, one so named because of its color which seem the young maple sheets?
At the end of this passage, « the widow jumping , like on the throne camped well on its feet in solid oak, waiting impassive to retain until death its preys between its arms?
From the hospital Gorgia Pines, Paul Edgecombe tells his friend that It was to me and Brutal to accomplish last execution?
In 1932, whereas he was a chief warden of the block E, anteroom of the hell, the block of condemned to died in the penitentiary of state which was still in Cold Mountain, he made an exceptional heat for one October and , he was reached of the urinary infection strongest of all his life, this day there, under the sadistic cries of Percy Wetmore ?Places at death! Place at the new stiff! ? ?, it saw arriving John Caffey, a black giant condemned for the rapes and the murders of two little girls, the Detterick binoculars. He had been found, howling and crying ?I could anything make, I tested, but it was too late! ? ?, with the corpses blooded in the hands. For the guards of the block E, it was about one delayed mental soft as a lamb which spent much time to cry in the content of its cell. Even after the reading of overpowering file, Paul had
remained very dubitative.
Crisisof momentary insanity? Miscarriage of justice?
Only Percy Wetmore jubilates of the destination of the prisoners of the block E, for his colleagues, it was stupid and bad like the scale, the worst combination than it is. But it was related to the governor and benefited from it openly, not hesitating to pass its nerves over the prisoners, especially over ED, the Cajun, and to disobey the orders. Percy wished to change employment to go to the hospital of Briard Ridge, but before leaving, he Wanted to go up in first line, to be a project superintendent for an execution, which Paul did not like.
The extravagant arrival of William Wharton, criminal 19 year old, who did not have anything any more to lose, had revealed the fear which pushed Percy to be what it was. Pretending to be under high amount of calming, Wharton had been let carry to the block E where it had awaked of a blow and had envoy the guards with the carpet, lack of little to strangle Dean Stanton under the eyes of paralyzed Percy fear. The appearance of Brutus Howell, a Brutal guard called by his colleagues, had paid calms it with the block E. Wharton locked up, Paul had remained only and the black giant had caught it through the bars and had simply posed his hand on the pubis of the chief. A few seconds later, it moved back while staggering and lengthened after having exhaled a cloud of small insects which disappeared. Paul had immediately smelled himself better, not suffering any more from his urinary infection and not having more the impression to piss of the razor blades.
1932, it is also the year when delicious Mélinda Moore, the woman of the director of the penitentiary, was hospitalized in Indianola for insupportable headaches which transformed her life. Hal warned Paul later that his Mélinda wife suffered from tumor deep and inoperable, she was condemned.
Then had arrived Mister Jingle, a small mouse which had elected residence with the Cajun, Edouard Delacroix, the Turkish head of Percy. It was a little before the execution of the chief, an Indian of the name of Bitterbuck. ED made make turns with Mister Jingle, as to go to seek a small reel each time it threw it. Just one day before his execution, he spoke about the future of its mouse with Paul and Brutal, the Cajun had launched the reel which had rolled until on the green line and to its continuation, the small mouse. It is the foot of Percy, in a noise of bones which crack, which had stopped the race of Mister Jingle for always, finally, so that it believed. But it was in front of the amazed guards that John Caffey resuscitates the mouse died in the hollow of his hands.
So that it disencumbers the block E, Paul Edgecombe had finally named project superintendent Percy for the execution of Delacroix against its word which it would leave in Briard Ridge as soon as possible. The Percy sadist had sabotaged the setting with died and in an absolute horror, the Cajun burned sharp between the arms of the widow.
Percy was put at the variation when Paul revealed with his colleagues whom it did not believe in the culpability of John Caffey, a miracle of nature that God had not been able to transform into assassin. It wished that the black giant meet Mélinda Moore to try to save it.
