Explanation:

'After Twenty Years' is a short story written by O. Henry in 1906.

It begins with a policeman on night patrol, checking doors of the shops for safety. Suddenly, he met a man who was waiting for a friend. That man explains he made an appointment 20 years ago to meet at that spot with his friend. 20 minutes later, another man approaches and calls to the waiting man by name - Bob. Bob thinks it is his friend Jimmy Wells. But then he realizes that the man is not Jimmy, but a policeman who is arresting him. The officer gives Bob a note from Patrolman Wells. Jimmy says he recognized Bob's face from a Chicago police bulletin but didn't want to bring him in himself and he had indeed made it to their appointment on time without Bob's even noticing him.

The part of the text that best supports that Jimmy Wells is a good man:

“Bob: I was at the place on time. I saw the face of the man wanted by Chicago cops. I didn’t want to arrest you myself. So I went and got another cop and sent him to do the job. JIMMY.” - This is a note to Bob. Here we see that Jimmy still feels that he and Bob are friends, he could not arrest his friend even knowing he is a bad man now. Also, it proves Jimmy didn't forget about the meeting either, he came on time. But when he saw Bob is Wanted, he had to do his job - being a good policeman who protects the safety of citizens.

So I think this note is the best evidence that Jimmy is a good man.
