"What about, Old King Brady?"
"The smuggled diamonds."
"And if I refuse?"
"We'll arrest your bride!"
The man turned pale, for the detective had touched his weakest point.
Grasping Old King Brady's arm, he said in appealing tones:
"Don't do that. She is innocent. Why drag her into my trouble?"
"She was with you when the diamonds were smuggled."
"True. But she didn't know anything about it. She didn't have anything to do with the work. I alone am the guilty party."
"That don't make any difference to us. If you don't make a clean breast of the matter, I'll pull her in. That settles it!"
