Policeman.—If you cannot identify him I must let him go. (Releases Dupewell.)
Dupewell.—Pity must give way to justice;—(Points to Tommy)—Seize him, he is the robber!
Policeman.—Ah, ha! Come here. (Taking hold of Tommy.)
Dupewell.—Feel his pockets, search him.
Tommy.—You’re welcome to feel in these pockets. I’ve got nothing but loose change, the proceeds of a horse I just sold.
Policeman.—Let me see. (Taking wallet from Tommy’s pocket.) Is this your property? (Hands it to Openface.)
Openface.—It is; and yet I never saw this man before!
Tommy.—Of course he didn’t.
Dupewell.—Take off his coat and hat.
Policeman.—Come sir; take them off!
