On the night that he had made the report, Spotter had mentioned the rendezvous that he had made with the false Reds Mackin. He had suggested that The Shadow be trapped there.
Tiger Bronson had made no comment; but Spotter had known that the words had made an impression. Also, he knew that he must not make any statement which might implicate Tiger Bronson.

“Who was in on it?” came the question.
“Maloney’s mob,” answered Spotter.
“What about you?”
