"—the first-aid kit," went on the announcer. "Morgan or Hughes is being held on a John Doe warrant pending the true identification of the man, charged with hellflower possession, abduction, illegal restraint, assault and battery, rape and driving an interstate truck with an improper license.
"Miss Hannon collapsed after driving the truck to within sight of the dragnet set out for Farradyne. Her statement will be taken by the Sand Office as soon as she is recovered. The point of hospitalization has been kept secret by the Sandmen, who are now confident of an early arrest. Indications are that Hughes or Morgan has turned state's evidence and is willing to inform on his racket-boss."
"Hah!" glowed Carolyn.
"Did you a lot of good, didn't it, Farradyne?" snarled Morgan.
Farradyne ignored Morgan and spoke to Carolyn. "Unless Norma is being tended by some one of your gang, this is the end, baby."
She eyed him superciliously. "How long will they believe her after they discover she's an addict herself?"
"Maybe she isn't."
Carolyn laughed, "Everybody knows there is no cure."
"And how about our pal, Brenner-Hughes-Morgan?"
"You leave me out of this!" snapped Morgan.
