“But they tried to do him up. They aided Parker Flynn in the attack upon you and Merriwell. They were on hand when Flynn struck you down with a stone and nearly split your skull.”
“And they were so frightened that they took to their heels and have not been seen in Belfast since. Oh, those chaps are not to be worried over. If Flynn were alive——”
“Who knows he is dead?”
“Where there is every evidence of his death!”
“There is no evidence of his death that amounts to anything.”
“Merry pursued him far up into the country.”
“Yes.”
“And Flynn went through a broken bridge and was drowned.”
“What proof is there of that?”
“His bicycle was found in the water under the bridge.”
