“What proof?”
“You were heard in Murphy’s saloon at The Harbor dealing with Kennedy.”
“By whom?”

“I was not the only one there. Brad Buckhart was with me outside the window, which was broken, and he heard your talk.”
“Anybody knows he would lie for you.”
“Joe Savage saw you in that room, where he went to have some dealings with you. He was attacked, struck with a bottle, and seriously injured. He will appear against you.”
“He’d better not!” grated Arlington fiercely. “If he does, he’ll go out of Fardale, too!”
