“Now,” said Detective Kerr, “you may answer this gentleman’s question. Who is the enemy you refer to?”
“You mean the man I heard threaten Mr. Judson’s life?” asked Claymore, cautiously.
“Yes.”
“It was a farmer named Hank Low. He lives out beyond Mason Creek a few miles.”
Kerr made a note of the name.
“What led to the threat?” he asked.
“The men had high words about a business transaction, in which Low thought he’d been badly used. As a matter of fact, Low was treated with perfect fairness.”
“But he was hot about it, eh?”
“I should say so!”
“Out there.”
