“But you heard something?”
“Yes; we found a boy, a friend of his, that said the last he saw of Dodger was last evenin’.”
“Where did he see him?”
“Near the pier of the Albany boats.”
“What was he doin’?”
“Carryin’ a valise for a man.”
“What kind of a man? How did he look?”
“He had gray hair and gray whiskers.”
