"Remanded," said Riley briefly.
"For how long?"
"A week. They'll get about five years each, I guess. Been too much of this here car stealing goin' on."
"They're not convicted yet," Frank Hardy pointed out.
"They will be," declared Riley confidently. "We got the goods on 'em."
It was one of Mr. Riley's little eccentricities that he preferred to refer to the entire Bayport police force as "we," as though he had charge of most of its activities instead of being merely a patrolman on the beat adjacent to the high school.
"Got the goods on them—nothing!" snorted Chet Morton. "A car was found on the Dodd farm, that's all."
"It's enough," said the unruffled Con. "Men have been hung on less evidence than that."
"Are the Dodds out on bail?" Frank inquired.
The officer shook his head.
