“I guess I know ’bout everything,” said the young detective, glad of a chance to have his say.
“You remarked that it was lucky that you found out something before it was too late for us here at the bank, I believe?”
“Yes, sir, you are right.”
“Will you please tell us the facts?”
Bob related the conversation he had heard between old Gunwagner and Felix Mortimer, relative to bank robbing.
“So that was your scheme in getting in here, was it? you young villain!” said Mr. Goldwin, angrily addressing Felix Mortimer.
“I refuse to answer the charges made by these confederates. They are telling what has no truth in it, and are deceiving you, as you will learn to your sorrow,” replied Felix, still maintaining a good degree of boldness.
Richard Goldwin, however, was too good a judge of human nature to be further imposed upon by the tricks of young Mortimer.
“But you will be forced to answer to the charges sooner or later, sir,” said the banker. “The court will compel you to do so.”
The court!
