“About medium height, I should judge,” replied Fellows thoughtfully. “Dark complexion, and an ugly face. He looked like a gunman.”

“Would you recognize him if you saw him again?”

“Yes.”

Higgins studied Fellows carefully.

Fellows was ready with an answer.

“I knew that he was expecting this,” returned Fellows calmly. “I met him through a friend and found that he was anxious to leave the city. He told me why.”

“Because?”

“Because of his gang connections. He gave me all the important facts concerning them.”

Higgins looked at the police captain and caught an approving nod.
