"Have you ever seen anything suspicious about the prisoner?"
"No; only his disappearance after the fire and the arrest of Madge."

"He can't. He has tried already. You heard him. I don't call that an explanation, but it is probably the best he can give."
"Would you be afraid to trust him now?"
"Personally? I don't think I would."
"Then, personally, you don't think that he is a spy?"
"No; but I don't know that he isn't."
"That'll do. I don't want to ask you any more questions." He turned to Cremation Mike. "Have you got any more witnesses?" he asked.
