Bob Ewell made only one specific threat against Atticus
following the Tom Robinson trial in To Kill a Mockingbird. Shortly
after the trial, Bob confronted Atticus outside the post office and spat in his face.
According to Miss Stephanie Crawford, who witnessed the encounter, Bob also "threatened
to kill him (Atticus)." He also called Atticus "'a nigger-lovin' bastard'" and other

job in a matter of days"; Ruth Jones, "the welfare lady, said Mr. Ewell openly accused
Atticus of getting his job," and indirectly called him a
"bastard."
