What does jonathan get in exchange for the rebel money he has saved?

In the story of “Civil Peace”, Jonathan gets 20 pounds for the saved rebel money he had turned over to the Treasury. However, during the night, men identified as thieves showed up in his house to demand 100 pounds from him. Since he only had 20 pounds, he handed it over to them leaving him with nothing but his own life again.

i would like to compare these two interpretations of the crucible : 1) eric christ's interretation and wade bradford's interpretation. the main differences between there interretaions is that in the first one you can notice direct link to joseph mccarthy whereas the second one represents how the town is filled with hysteria.the second interpretation shows that author believes that the story   about puritan town in salem is based on actual events while the first example shows the sencible reference to sort of bias.
