"Will you appear against him, Mrs. Dexter?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll take him along. And what about this fellow?"
"Me?" demanded Gus with offended dignity. "I'm a police officer."
"What's your name?"
"August Driggs."
"Where are you a policeman?"
"In Templeton."
"Why were you lads fighting Officer Driggs?" inquired Whalen blandly.
Dick supplied some of the details, Dave others. Mrs. Dexter confirmed the statements that they made.
