KATE and MRS. VERNON come on.
KATE. [Anxiously. To JIM.] What do these men want? [To BOLLINGER.]
What is the trouble here?
BOLLINGER. [Pointing at JIM.] Malfeasance.
KATE. What?
BOLLINGER. Why, Miss Kate, he gave his horse to a man he ought to have arrested—a train-robber—a murderer—and—
JIM. Hold on, Bollinger—man's dead, and he used to be a friend to these ladies.
KATE. [Crosses to the MEN.] No—do not speak of him—we thought he was a friend—but why do you accuse Mr. Radburn?
JIM. No use talkin', Kate, they know.
BOLLINGER. You bet.
JIM. Lizbeth's inside—you an' Kate better go in, Mrs. Vernon.
