HECK TATE
"Mr. Heck Tate was the sheriff of Maycomb County. He was as tall as Atticus, but thinner. He was long-nosed wore boots with shiny metal eye-holes, boot pants and a lumber jacket. His belt had a row of bullets sticking in it. He carried a heavy rifle." He was responsible for moving Tom Robinson to the county jail, never going to church except to speak with Atticus about the trial. He was the first witness that the prosecution called during the Tom Robinson trial. "Mr. Tate had dressed for the occasion. He wore an ordinary business suit, which made him look somehow like every other man: gone were his high boots, lumber jacket, and bullet-studded belt."
