This depends to some extent on what you are talking about
-- what crime. But I would say that both men are guilty of something. However, Injun
Joe is guilty of much more than Muff Potter is.
Both men
are clearly guilty of going out to rob the grave. That is why they are in the graveyard
in the first place. But Muff Potter is not really guilty of much more than that. By
contrast, Injun Joe is clearly guilty of killing the doctor. That is surely much more
important than grave robbery.
Later on, we also find that
Joe is guilty of theft and of at least planning to harm the widow. Muff is not guilty
of these things either.
