CHAPTER IX details a pivotal and suspenseful scene in which Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn sneak out at night to perform a superstitious ritual in a graveyard, believing a dead cat can cure warts. While there, they witness a violent confrontation between Injun Joe, Muff Potter, and Dr. Robinson. Injun Joe murders the doctor during a struggle, frames Muff Potter by placing the knife in his hand, and manipulates Potter into believing he committed the crime. The chapter ends with the boys fleeing in terror, now bound by a fearful secret.
