The fourth man stopped the three on the corner and seemed to direct attention of the three to these double doors.
Lannigan walked up several steps and looked at the doors more closely. Then he went back to the three, saying something.
A little later, the four entered the drinking saloon.
The two detectives stood still in their place of concealment, wondering what all this meant.
“Chick,” said Patsy, “this is the place that Lannigan said he would go to with the others.”
“We must go in and see what it’s like,” said Chick.
Certain that they had not been observed, they stepped out on the sidewalk and inspected the house more closely.
A man came up and stood near them. The two detectives, looking at him closely, satisfied themselves that he had no purpose in this, but was merely lounging there.
“Live about here?” asked Patsy, of the man.
“Yes, all my life,” replied the man.
