Polios effect on Emmett was making have a hard time talking. That made Emmett stutter a lot. Emmett whistled when he couldn't pronounce something. When Emmett made aggressive advances as the clerk, Carolyn Bryant, said in her side of the story, that made her uncomfortable so she told her husband, Roy Bryant. When Carolyn told Roy, Roy wasn't happy about that so he planned to do something about it. Emmett was then kidnapped, tortured, and killed by Roy Bryant and his friend J.W. Millam.
