Of The Neighbors Who Decides To Go To The Trial

The answer to the question who among the neighbors goes to the trial of Tom Robinson in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird can be found in chapter sixteen of the novel. Scout describes it this way: 

"It was like Saturday. People from the south end of the county passed our house in a leisurely but steady stream." 

Scout also mentions a wagonload of Mennonite women, Mr. Dolphus Raymond on his thoroughbred, X Billups...

The answer to the question who among the neighbors goes to the trial of Tom Robinson in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird can be found in chapter sixteen of the novel. Scout describes it this way: 

"It was like Saturday. People from the south end of the county passed our house in a leisurely but steady stream." 

Scout also mentions a wagonload of Mennonite women, Mr. Dolphus Raymond on his thoroughbred, X Billups on his mule, and lists several more in this quote: 

"As the county went by us, Jem gave Dill the histories and general attitudes of the more prominent figures: Mr. Tensaw Jones voted the straight Prohibition ticket; Miss Emily Davis dipped snuff in private; Mr. Byron Waller could play the violin; Mr. Jake Slade was cutting his third set of teeth."

Notably absent from the crowd is Miss Maudie Atkinson, who lives across the street from the Finches. She is known as one of the most open-minded people in the town and says that watching a man on trial for his life is like watching a "Roman carnival." Not surprisingly, Ms. Stephanie Crawford, known as the town gossip, is among the ranks of those attending the trial. 

Scout further describes the crowd in this quote: 

"It was a gala occasion. There was no room at the public hitching rail for another animal, mules and wagons were parked under every available tree. The courthouse square was covered with picnic parties sitting on newspapers, washing down biscuit and syrup with warm milk from fruit jars. Some people were gnawing on cold chicken and cold fried pork chops. The more affluent chased their food with drugstore Coca-Cola in bulb-shaped soda glasses. Greasy-faced children popped-the-whip through the crowd, and babies lunched at their mothers’ breasts. In a far corner of the square, the Negroes sat quietly in the sun, dining on sardines, crackers, and the more vivid flavors of Nehi cola." 

Reverend Sykes is also in attendance and helps Jem and Scout find a seat in the courtroom. The Ewells attend, as Mayella is the alleged victim in the case, and many of the Cunninghams, who had planned to lynch Tom Robinson, are there as well. Calpurnia and Aunt Alexandra don't attend the trial.
