“Yes, the man that tried to rob me this morning.”
“This is something new to me,” returned the detective. “Was an attempt made upon you this morning?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Tell me about it.”
Of course, Andy gave for the second time an account of his morning’s adventure.
The detective listened with the closest attention.
“Unquestionably the two men are in league together,” he said.
“Have you any idea who the younger man is?” asked the teller.
“No; it may be any one of half a dozen. The description will fit quite a number of my acquaintances. My theory is that Hogan was near at hand when the attack was made, and that he instigated it. I presume that it was from him that the younger man learned that you were likely to come this way with the money in your possession.”
“I didn’t think of that,” said Andy.
