Before Furman could again fire, the detective snatched the weapon from his hand.
Then Nick Carter locked the door and put the key in his pocket.
“Give me back my money,” said Smith.
The detective laughed at the trembling culprit, whom he had so easily taken in.
The broker was very pale, and his knees were so weak that it was with difficulty he managed to stand.
Furman, on the other hand, seemed cool.
“Come, give me your hand.” Nick opened the iron cuff as he approached Tom.
At that moment Furman, who was behind him, sprang forward.
The detective was prepared for this, and turning around, he dealt Sam a blow between the eyes with his pistol Butt, that stretched that gentleman upon the floor.
Nick Carter placed the iron bracelet upon the broker’s wrist without much difficulty, although Smith struggled with all his strength to prevent him from doing so.
