“You found him dying from a stab wound. I know all about it.”
“Did Monte make this charge against me?” asked Bull.

“The man must have taken leave of his senses.”
“No, but he has taken leave of life,” said Frank.
“Did he also accuse me of having stabbed him?”
“No; but you might have saved his life if you had got a doctor, or sent Tony Riley after one,” replied Hare.
“But I tell you I have not been across Murphy’s threshold in weeks.”
“Your pal, Tony Riley, was arrested there to-day.”
The villain became deadly pale.
