Delmonico notices that the storm has moved noth of him and will be through Valentine before he gets ther.
<Authors note: It was a dark and stormy night,
I was at work, it was slow so I watched the storms on radar.

Delmonicoides on toward Valentine at a fairly fast pace. He hopes to get there and get the casket for Trinity and get back soon. If he dies too soon with out embalming he will deterorate fast in the heat. Even storing him in the cellar might not be enough.
Besides that it will stink up the cellar.
Delmonico really has a soft heart, he would hate to see Trinity just tossed in the hole and buried, or worse being buried in his blankets.
Wait, Slim could put the body in a barrel and cover him with Trinity's recipe, that will embalm him so he can have a decent burying.
