Tom testifies that on November 21st, Mayella asked him to come in and fix a broken door.... a door that once he got inside wasn't broken. Mayella then told Tom that she had sent the kids for ice-cream and asked him to take down a box, but when he went to grab the box.... Mayella grabbed him and wanted to kiss him. Tom, on the other hand, wanted nothing more than to get out. Tom knew that if he was caught in he house, he would be the one to get into trouble. At that point, Mr. Ewell came in, called his daughter a whore, and threatened to kill Tom.
