“Very well. Ye’ll see that we’ll take keer of them Bradys all right.”
“Look here!” cried Collins. “What be ye going to do with that young Banks, anyway?”
“I’m going to arrest him,” replied Blood. This interested the detectives.
“Arrest him?”
“Yes.”
“Ah! Have ye got the right evidence, think ye?”
“My man Scott, a private detective, has worked that all right. Some of the girl’s jewelry, and a lace necktie stained with blood will be found in young Banks’ room to-morrow. Also, there’ll be blood on some of his clothes.”
The trio laughed grimly.
“You’ll do!” jeered Burke. “If you’d join us this trio might become a quartette.”
At this there was a general laugh. Then Blood arose to go.
