"Oh, yes I did. Who talked with him after he was shot?"
"I did, for one. Why?"
"What did he tell you?"
The warden shrugged. "You know that as well as I do. Smoky was walking up Coon Valley when your dad rose from behind Glory Rock and shot him."
"Can you tell me the exact story?"
Loring Blade looked puzzled. "What do you want to know, Ted?"
"Did Smoky hear any shooting?"
"Come to think of it, a half minute or so before he got to Glory Rock he heard two shots."
Ted's heart pounded excitedly. The two shots had been for Damon and Pythias. Smoky wouldn't have heard the one that got him. Ted continued his questioning.
"Did Smoky have any idea as to who was shooting at what?"
