"I—don't—believe—it," gasped Denton, turning pale.
"The numbers of the stolen bonds have been sent to all the bankers and brokers in the city. This is one, and the one you brought us not long since is another. Do you persist in saying that you bought this bond a year ago?"
"No, no!" exclaimed Denton, terrified.
"Did you rob the bank?"
"No, I didn't!" ejaculated the terrified man, wiping the perspiration from his brow.
"Where, then, did you get the bonds?"
"I got them both from Prince Duncan, president of the bank."
Both partners looked surprised.
One of them went to the door of the office, and called in Mr. Armstrong, who, as well as a policeman, had been sent for.
Tony Denton's statement was repeated to him.
