“I’m sorry for you, Miss Stella. I think I understand!”
“Then you will know how to forgive my bitter and unjust words?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t you help me?” she asked piteously.
“The situation is extremely delicate for me as it is dangerous for John Graham. The Government is determined to press these cases for conspiracy and murder. Personally I have never believed Graham guilty of the murder of the Judge.”
“Of course he is innocent!”
“I think I know the man who killed your father.”
“And you will help me save John Graham?” she cried.
“I’ll have a big job before me to complete my work before this trial. There’ll be plenty of witnesses to swear anything the Government wants, but I’ll do my best.”
“Thank you.”
