Wint exclaimed: “First rate. You mean you’ve arrested some one?”
“I should say I had.”
“Who?” Wint asked.
“You know Lutcher?”
“Of course.”
CHAPTER VI
KITE TAKES A HAND
THAT Radabaugh should have arrested Lutcher was almost as though he had arrested Kite himself; and Wint knew it. It brought matters to an issue, direct and unavoidable. Lutcher, for all practical purposes, was Kite. His arrest meant an open defiance to the head and front of the opposition. Wint, characteristically, leaped at the chance. He might have been more lenient with a lesser man.
He asked the marshal: “Where is he?”
“Locked up,” said Radabaugh.
