He locates a man whom he thinks will be a perfect scapegoat, Smollet. Princey takes Smollet to the schoolmaster's body and draws a gun on him. He gives him two choices: go along with Princey's scheme that makes it look like Smollet committed the murder or be shot on the spot. Smollet chooses the former. Princey makes it look like Smollet committed the crime. He then tells him to keep his mouth shut. Smollet leaves and Princey calls the police. He reports that a murder has just taken place. (TV.com)
