The detective was slightly disappointed. He thought at first that Brockey knew more about the crime. But still, the rascal’s evidence would show that Rich and Darwin had said that they would follow the old man.
“Did Darwin tell you whether he or Rich followed the old man after you left them?” Carter asked.
“He did not,” Brockey replied. “But I guess Rich was the one.”
“What makes you think so?”
“Didn’t you read about what the bartender had to say?”
“You mean about the tall man who entered the barroom after the old man?”
“Yes.”
“Is that all you know?”
“It is, Mugsey.”
“I think you know more.”
