In Chapter 15, Heck Tate and a group of concerned citizens arrive at the Finch residence to discuss the possibility of a "change of venue" for the Tom Robinson trial. Heck Tate is worried that there might be some individuals that will cause trouble throughout the county and would like to see the trial moved outside of Maycomb. Mr. Link Deas mentions that the "Old Sarum bunch" might be planning something. Atticus is not worried about anyone causing trouble and thinks that it will be alright to house Tom Robinson in Maycomb's jail for one night. Later on in the chapter, Atticus decides to sit outside Tom Robinson's jail cell as a precaution. The Old Sarum bunch ends up coming to the jail house and attempts to harm Tom Robinson, but is unsuccessful.
