Old King Brady detailed to him all that transpired, and he listened very attentively until the detective finished.
Then he pondered a moment, and said:
"The whole thing is a big plot on Mason's part to get his uncle's money and daughter at one swoop."
"We've clearly established Mason's guilt, sir."
"Very true. He's a bad egg. Capture him and you may find out what he has done with Oliver Dalton."
"I've become convinced of another fact since finding out what a villain that fellow is," said Old King Brady.
"To what do you allude?"
"Well, you recollect that when we began this case it was for the purpose of finding out who was stealing money from the broker's mail," said the detective.
"I'm aware of that."
"In view of all that happened, it begins to look as if Mason was the guilty party the Federal Government is after."
