"You mean that the case is complete," said Nick.
"Absolutely."
"This witness whom you have brought supplies the link that was wanting?"
"He does."
"I shall be glad to hear his story."
"His name," said Deever, "is John Flint."
"Where are you employed, Mr. Flint?" asked Nick.
"I ain't doing nothing just now," said Flint.
"What do you know about the disappearance of Mr. Deever's brother?"
"I don't know anything about it, but I saw something Monday night which Mr. Deever wants me to swear to."
