Atticus talks to Mayella on the stand. Atticus got Mayella to admit that she was a lonely girl who had no friends and a drunken father. He began interrogating her, saying that her father hit her. That's when Mayella started crying and refusing any more questions. Atticus says that a left handed man hit her, but Toms left arm was destroyed by a cotton gin when he was younger. so that makes it impossible for Tom to have hit her on her right side.
Tom was then summand to the stand for questioning. Tom explained his side of the story. That every day he walks by and one day Mayella called him for help. Tom being the good hearted person he his felt bad and helped Mayella. when he went in side that's when she threw herself on him and started kissing Tom. That's when Tom ran away because he thought Bob would kill him because he looked like the victim from Bob's perspective.
