After completing introductions, Willy told him that he was indeed accused of the theft, and would be arraigned in the morning.
"They can't prove it," Walther answered calmly.
"They think they can. Our Digester friend—remember our Bohemian evening?—has come forward to accuse you. He'll testify about the offer we made him."
"We? Will he accuse you, too?"
"Not exactly. I'm supposed to be an innocent bystander. A friend who was used!"
In spite of the circumstances, a hint of the old sparkle returned to Willy's eyes and he smiled faintly.
"What can they do about it?" Walther demanded. After all, he was a Von Koenigsburg.
Willy's smile vanished.
"Our legal friend here says ten years would be a light sentence."
